Von Winning Sauvignon Blanc II 2024

What if Sauvignon Blanc wasn't supposed to come from the Loire Valley? Von Winning's Sauvignon Blanc II challenges that assumption, emerging from the limestone-rich, sun-soaked Pfalz. This isn't a New Zealand-style tropical bomb or a Loire-style herbaceous whisper. It's something altogether different: natural fermentation, no temperature control, gravity-flow only winemaking. The result speaks pure terroir: flinty, mineral, with volcanic undertones and citrus brightness. Stone fruit, gooseberry, and tarragon dance across the palate with remarkable precision. This is a Sauvignon Blanc that respects the vineyard's complexity—a blend of Paradiesgarten, Herrgottsacker, and Steinacker parcels—each contributing distinct mineral character. For adventurous drinkers seeking Sauvignon Blanc freed from expectation.
