The plants are from French and Italian origin with average are 7 years. The forming is single vertical shoot positioning (VSP or single guyot), the density is 5000 plants per hectare. The yield is controlled at 9-10 ton/ha. Regulation of production, e.g. green pruning is made when the height of the shoots is 15-20 cm. Only one shoot per bud is left. Also, important viticultural practice is de-leafing the vines on the non-sun exposed side in the afternoons and stimulate formation of leaf mass on the sun-exposed side.
Brilliant and pure pale straw-yellow color. 42/25 Sauvignon Blanc reveals gorgeous aromas of freshly cut grass, juicy apple, melon and lemon, elegantly surrounded by elderflower, acacia and hints of fresh nettle. In the mouth it is fresh, mineral, with fine grassy and citrusy notes. Wine with a light body, excellent balance, medium-lasting finish and mineral aftertaste.
