Sauvignon Quarz 2024 – Cantina Terlan – Alto Adige DOC – 75 cl

Sauvignon Quarz 2024 – Depth, Freshness & Precision

The glass glows with a bright yellow-green. The nose presents an aromatic play of mango, papaya, lime, red grapefruit, and lemongrass, accompanied by mint, lemon balm, and a hint of flint.

On the palate, exotic fruit, freshness, and delicate minerality combine to form a powerful yet elegant wine with a long finish.

💡 The Sauvignon Quarz is considered one of the best white wines in South Tyrol – an iconic Sauvignon Blanc from Terlan that unites alpine clarity and Mediterranean finesse.

🌿 Terroir & Soil

The foundation of Quarz's success: sandy-loamy soils of volcanic origin, interspersed with quartz porphyry containing up to 60% quartz content.

These mineral-rich, permeable soils with a slightly acidic pH produce wines that impress with saltiness, tension, and longevity.

The Terlan microclimate – hot days, cool nights – gives the grapes their incomparable aroma and balance.

🪵 Vinification & Aging

The grapes are harvested and selected by hand.

Following gentle whole-cluster pressing, the must undergoes natural sedimentation, followed by slow fermentation at a controlled temperature.

The wine matures for 9 months on the fine lees, which gives it structure, texture, and depth.
