This is a winery that has achieved success by producing white wines that are demonstrating an excellent ability to age well. This Sauvignon from the Linea Sanct Valentin, the vines for which are some 15 years old and grow on slopes at an altitude of between 300 and 500 meters above sea level, has a compact straw-yellow color, which when aged has an aroma of elder flowers and nettles and aromatic herbs, ripe yellow fruits. The taste is enveloping, full, with a nice acidity, with the same fruit flavors picked up by the nose, while the finish is long and rewarding.
