Information about "Diemersdal Wild Horseshoe Sauvignon Blanc 2024"
The Diemersdal Wild Horseshoe Sauvignon Blanc 2024 manifests a remarkable character, filled with vibrant notes of quince and tropical fruits, accented by subtle hints of oak. Its stunning structure is complemented by well-integrated tannins and a gentle smokiness, crafting a truly exquisite tasting experience reflective of its terroir.
For decades, horses were used to plow the vineyards at Diemersdal, and today, horseshoes are occasionally discovered, symbols of good fortune. These lucky finds are collected and displayed in the cellar, paying homage to the vineyard's heritage.
The grapes were hand-harvested, crushed, and fully destemmed. The must underwent fermentation for 96 hours, followed by natural fermentation of the free-run juice in older 500-liter French oak barrels at 18-20°C. Post-fermentation, the wine spent 11 months on fine lees with weekly batonnage to enhance mouthfeel and concentration. It was bottled unfiltered, which may lead to some sediment over time.
