Product description for Tement Ried Zieregg Kapelle Sauvignon Blanc, Große STK Lage 2021 (bio)
Info
The 2021 vintage at Tement offers crystal-clear, mature wines based on perfect grape material. January and February were characterized by beautiful, sunny winter days. Dry and sunny, making it perfect for pruning. March followed, which was cool and rather humid, slightly delaying bud break. April and May were also characterized by rather cool and humid weather. Early summer was rather moderate, with a later-than-usual flowering. July and August then provided ideal conditions, allowing the slight delay in the vineyard to be almost completely made up for. The name refers to a parcel located above the winery and directly below the Carmelite Chapel. The soil in the “chapel” is based on water-repellent, heavy clay and loam on coral limestone. The vines are approximately 18 years old, making them the youngest in the entire Zieregg vineyard. The parcel covers 1.48 hectares with approximately 7,000 vines. The approximately 470 meters of altitude, along with the proximity, provide some cooling in this otherwise sunny plot. The wines are fermented spontaneously and then aged on the fine lees for a full thirty months in small, old oak barrels. It is bottled without filtration.
Colour
Bright lemon yellow with green reflections
Nose
The Sauvignon Blanc from the Kapelle plot within the Zieregg makes a powerful impression. A true monument and masterpiece seems to await us. The fruit here is very varied. Passion fruit and mango are clearly noticeable at first. Grilled pineapple, apricot, and peach can also be detected. However, its gentle and slow maturation on the lees overshadows the fruit, giving it a very serious and mature impression. The lees provide a haven of calm and serve as a terroir booster in the sensory perception. Its chalky subsoil can also be sensed. Added to this are abundant herbs of many facets. Mint, coriander, thyme, lemon balm, and chervil have an enormously invigorating effect.
Palate
On the palate, it absolutely lives up to its high expectations. It builds slowly on the palate, then unfolds orchestrally. Fruit, minerality, spice, and freshness are equally balanced. It is dense and concentrated, but by no means overpowering. Quite the opposite. It practically dances along to the loud music in the background. Its powerful and intense effect is palpable. Its yeasty note has a soothing effect. A slight spiciness provides pleasantly distinctive edges. This has an enormously stimulating effect and promotes the flow of the drink. Racy, delicate, characterized by enormous length, and seemingly endless.
