Professional Reviews

Notes

Cantina Terlano is one of the most renowned producers in Alto Adige, known for their precise and expressive white wines. The "Winkl" Sauvignon Blanc is a standout, showcasing the varietal’s characteristic freshness and minerality with a distinct Alpine influence. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards, this wine is a beautifully balanced expression of Sauvignon Blanc, combining ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and a distinctive mineral backbone. On the nose, the "Winkl" Sauvignon Blanc bursts with aromas of tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrus zest, alongside notes of white peach, green apple, and a touch of elderflower. There are also hints of herbs and a subtle flinty minerality that adds depth. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with lively acidity, delivering flavors of grapefruit, pear, and lime, balanced by a crisp, refreshing texture. The finish is long and clean, with lingering notes of saline minerality and a touch of gooseberry.
