Description

Product description for Johannes Zillinger Perpetuum blanc 2020 (bio)

Wine Information

Perpetuum is the essence of Zillinger’s wine style. It embodies the elegance of the Velues, the minerality and coolness of the Parcellaires, and the pressure and complexity of the Numens. The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested by hand on September 17, 2020. 80% of the grapes were whole-bunch pressed, and 20% were subjected to intracellular fermentation in 500-liter amphorae for five days. The wine was then slowly pressed and aged for 12 months under flor yeast in three old Champagne barrels. The total sulphur is 18 mg, the pH is 3.2, and the residual sugar is 0.7 grams.

Colour

Light, slightly cloudy golden yellow.

Nose

What a wonderful nose the Perpetuum Blanc has! This single-varietal Sauvignon Blanc, matured under flor yeast, smells of cellar apples, a touch of meadow honey, ripe yeast dough, and beeswax. Added to this are ground almonds and nuts, a touch of blond tobacco, and a hint of walnut. Finally, there are notes of candied ginger and candied pineapple, a touch of ripe kumquat and verbena. All of this ebbs and flows with the air and warmth, constantly changing.

Palate

On the palate, this is a multifaceted, diversified wine full of elegance and density, a deep, inner power yet simultaneously transparent and vibrant. It is a wine with vital acidity and impressive vibration and tension, a hint of gooseberry and distinct notes of lime and grapefruit. The Sauvignon Blanc has a yeasty, sensual and silky feel, reminiscent of salted lemon, verbena, and lemon balm. It coats the palate and lingers for minutes long after you’ve swallowed. This is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc that doesn’t need to fear comparison.
