2018 | Franz Haas | Sauvignon

The nose is seduced with a colorful bouquet of aromas, including elderflowers, white peaches, complex notes pinned with dried fruits and Asian aromas. On the palate, it releases a lively and sapid acidity with mineral notes, while the ending notes are very persistent and stimulating and characterized by a pleasant fullness and elegance.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Tropical-fruit, citrus and tomato-vine aromas lead the nose. The aromas carry over to the crisp, savory palate along with suggestions of honeydew melon and a tangy saline note.

• Falstaff: Brilliant, intense straw yellow. On the nose ripe pineapple and yellow mango, also blood orange, flowery aromas in the background, multilayered. On the palate very juicy with great acidity, tasty saltiness, gradually spreads across. On the finish again salty and clear.

Producer Information

Since its foundation in 1880 the Franz Haas winery passed through seven generations with every firstborn Franz Haas. The winery has been focusing since the very start on expressing the quality of its grapes at their best. Today, Franz Haas works with grapes coming from 55 ha of vineyards between 240m and 1.150m asl. in zones of different microclimatic and geological conditions. Special attention has always been given in using the minimum and most selective chemical substances during cultivation and fertilization. Pinot Nero is the great passion of Franz Haas and therefore it is not surprising that the selection ”Schweizer“ of Pinot Nero is released only during the best seasons. Moscato Rosa and the Cuvée Manna are also among our most famous wines. A distinctive feature are our colorful and expressive labels, they are all the artwork of the famous Italian painter and architect Riccardo Schweizer.
