Tement, Manfred - Sauvignon blanc Zieregg Vinothek Reserve 2012

FALSTAFF: "Mittleres Gelb, Silberreflexe. Mit einem feinen Anklang von Anis unterlegte Noten von Cassis und Blütenhonig, Nuancen von Mandarinenzesten, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, sehr gut eingebundene 7 Gramm Restzucker, die von einer lebendigen Säurestruktur gekontert werden, feiner Honigtouch im Nachhall, ein außerordentlicher Wein mit großen Perspektiven."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Selected in the best plot of the Zieregg and only in great vintages, the 2012 Sauvignon Blanc Zieregg Vinothek Reserve displays a very clear and pure bouquet with lemon flavors. This fascinating nose seems to be delivered on a perfumed stone plate. Pure perfume, no eau de toilette, of course. The palate is the extension of the nose, although the finish reveals a sweetish and charming juiciness that takes away a bit of the purity - which I like too much, but many readers might find too intellectual or not sensual enough. Ripe and cooked/baked white fruits (apples) intertwine with mineral flavors on the highly elegant palate, which finishes with verve, salt, and ripe and concentrated fruit flavors. This is doubtlessly great wine and there is no Sauvignon I know on planet wine that is comparable to this Zieregg. And that's a probably the greatest compliment I can give to this extraordinary wine."
