Weinkontor Pflüger – Sauvignon Blanc Quarzit
The Sauvignon Blanc Quarzit 2023 from Weinkontor Pflüger from Bad Dürkheim is a dry organic wine from the Palatinate. This organic wine is characterized by its cool minerality and aromas of white currants, juicy peach, and exotic passion fruit. The quartzite soil contributes a salty minerality to this wonderfully fresh and incredibly light Sauvignon Blanc with a medium body, good acidity, and moderate alcohol content.
The Pflüger Sauvignon Blanc Quarzit is pleasantly dry and boasts a good acid structure. It pairs well with a wide variety of dishes and leaves a lasting impression. Its mineral, invigorating character makes it a perfect accompaniment to Asian vegetable cuisine as well as light dishes with fish and shellfish.
Pflüger – Winemaking
The vines for this Sauvignon Blanc, some from Weingut Pflüger and some from friendly organic winemakers, grow in organically cultivated vineyards in the municipalities of Bad Dürkheim and Friedelsheim. What they all have in common is the light gravel soil and the quartzite stone subsoil, which imparts a fine salty minerality to the wine. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, winemaker Alexander Pflüger has been working according to biodynamic principles since 2008, refraining from artificial fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, following the course of the seasons and the moon, and working as close to nature as possible. Weingut Pflüger is Demeter certified.
The harvest of the purchased Sauvignon Blanc grapes often takes place in several picking rounds. In the winery's press house, which is located opposite the salt works in Bad Dürkheim, the grapes are gently processed. The mash is pressed with gentle pressure, and the must is spontaneously fermented. The reductive aging in steel tanks results in a typical, aromatic Sauvignon.
