Schloss Ortenberg 2022 Sauvignon Blanc "Granit"

Our second vintage of this surprising wine is simply perfect, and a testament to the strides made by the ubiquitous Sauvignon in Germany. The musky nose and mineral-rich palate bring a distinctive Teutonic flair to the grape.

Notes from the Producer: Sauvignon blanc has a long history in Baden. First mentioned in 1871 and has recently made a resurgance. The ranite soil combined with the cool breeze from the Black Forest imparts flavours of exotic fruit into the wine.
