Kirjeldus

Cantina Terlano veinivalmistamise traditsioonid ulatuvad tagasi rohkem kui 2000 aastat. Terlano unikaalne asukoht Tschöggeli mäe jalamil on nende veinide omapära peamiseks põhjuseks. Terlano kooperatiiv asutati 1893. aastal, praegu on seal üle 100 liikme.

Vein on valmistatud 100% Sauvignon Blanc’st. Veiniaedade pinnas on graniit-liivane ja kruusane. Veiniaiad on 300-500 meetri kõrgusel merepinnast. Käärimine toimub 50% ulatuses terasmahutites ning 50% ulatuses tammevaatides (500 l). Toimub ka täielik malolaktiline käärimine ning veinivirre on pärmisettel 8 kuud. Värvuselt on vein õlekõrre kollane, roheliste varjunditega. Aroom on kompleksne, tunda on aprikoosi ning puiduseid alatoone. Maitselt on vein kergelt soolakas, mineraalne ning väga pika järelmaitsega. Serveerida temperatuuril 10-12 kraadi. Vananemispotentsiaal 8-10 aastat.

“From a few selected parcels with a high quartz content, the quartz is fermented in a combination of large wooden barrels and stainless steel and spends a further nine months on the fine lees. Full, broad and ripe, but also restrained with a slight hint of thiols, it is juicy and very intense. It is juicy and super intense. The balance is there, however, and the alcohol and acidity are well contained. Very well modulated and surprisingly drinkable, it should also age very well.” Decanter 95 points “Gold Medal” 

“Restrained and mineral, this wine focuses on sage and gooseberry with aromas and flavours of lemon fruit. The medium-bodied palate is lively and tangy, yet balanced with sufficient weight. A polished finish.” James Suckling 95 points 

“Pale straw yellow with sparkling reflections. Fine nose with a slight spiciness, elderflower and gooseberries. Lots of grip on the palate with racy acidity, always good fruit flavours. Pleasant palate pressure, full-bodied length.” Falstaff 95 points 

“The 2023 Sauvignon Quarz is remarkably lifted and refined in this vintage, as crushed limes, young kiwis and mint are complicated by a whiff of flint. This is a model of purity, like drinking liquid rocks, with a stern mineral core and cooling acidity that propels its citrus-spiked orchard fruits. A pretty inner sweetness lingers, offset by a sour twang as hints of green melon fade, leaving a salty tinge and the palate salivating for more. This is a riveting expression of Quarz.” Antonio Galloni Vinous 94+ points

“The 2023 Alto Adige Terlano Sauvignon Quarz offers a somewhat softer and less exuberant interpretation of the grape variety compared to the Winkl, which is all about brightness and primary fruit. The Quarz shows more depth and complexity thanks to the focus on fruit that comes exclusively from steep vineyards.” Wine Advocate 94 points
