The Kalterer See Classic Superior is a light wine with low content of tannins, with a colour clear ruby to red bright ruby. He has an agreeably slender and fruity taste, at whom a light inkling of bitter almonds shines through often.
>> dettaglio
Brilliant straw yellow with a green shimmer. Quite pronounced and expressive aroma with flowery and somewhat spicy notes. Rich flavored in the mouth, with a slight smokiness at the back and a good, fresh finish.
Light and easy drinking, accentuated fruit and discreet toasted almond on the finish.
Colour: ruby red with violet tones Aroma: open and fruity with heart cherries and Mon Chéri pralines, a hint of cinnamon and marzipan Taste: smooth and fruity, well-structured with soft tannins, sophisticated yet invitingly drinkable with the typical lightness of a Vernatsch wine, fruity and long in the finish
The Sauvignon is good as aperitif, with not too heavy starters and most fish dishes. A special combination is Sauvignon with asparagus. Therefore the Sauvignon is also called "Spargelwein" (Wine for Asparagus).
It's a good choice as aperitif, with tasteful starters, grilled fish, seafood, crustaceans and white meat.
