GERD STEPP Mineralstein Sauvignon Blanc - Pfalz 2024 Bottle P.ORG

Description

Sauvignon Blanc may be a relative newcomer in Germany's Pfalz, but here it's found an ideal partner in higher-altitude, limestone-rich sites. Fruit comes from selected parcels, fermented cool to preserve lift and clarity, then left sur lie until bottling - with no stirring - for added texture and depth. Only a single light filtration is carried out before bottling. The result is crisp and vivid, with lemon, lime and grapefruit zest over a fine mineral backbone, and a subtle herbal twist on the finish. Freshness meets understated complexity in a style that's both invigorating and distinctly moreish without tipping into flamboyance.

Serve well-chilled with goat's cheese, grilled sea bass, or asparagus - all natural accomplices to its citrus-edged friskiness.
