1989 is the birth year of the most famous wine from the St. Michael-Eppan winery. Cellar master Hans Terzer created the Sauvignon Sanct Valentin as the flagship wine of the top line of the same name: selected parcels on the slopes of the Mendel Mountains, strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual labour. Since then, it has been considered one of the most awarded white wines in Italy – a title it has earned year after year. Today, the responsibility lies with Jakob Gasser, who carries the legacy with the same care. The vineyards at the foothills of the Mendel Mountains benefit daily from the fall winds – the cooling evening breezes, which preserve freshness and flavour and give the Sauvignon its characteristic minerality. Hand-picked, cold maceration of the skins, fermentation in steel, maturation on the fine lees. Precision in every step, no intervention that obscures the expression of the place.

Brilliant yellow-green colour. Seductive fruit on the nose – white peach, gooseberry, elderflower, passion fruit – over a mineral-herbal foundation of exceptional depth. The palate is complex, long and characterised by incomparable minerality, with a finish that just won't quit. The Sauvignon by which South Tyrol is rightly measured every year. SUPERIORE.DE
