This is Sauvignon Blanc's cool older sibling who moved to the mountains and got really into rock climbing. Fresh white peach and lime zest lead the way, but it's the underlying mineral tension that keeps you coming back. There's this crystalline purity that feels like drinking straight from an Alpine spring, but with enough flesh on its bones to keep things interesting. It's the kind of wine that makes you crave seafood, or just another glass. The finish goes on forever, like a perfect summer sunset.

With a slightly restyled front label, the Cantina Terlano 2024 Alto Adige Terlano Sauvignon Winkl is very true to the grape with lots of zesty tropical fruit, citrus and the green essence found on young tomato leaves. I enthusiastically direct your attention here if you love this fragrant grape. The wine is lean and fresh on the finish.

The 2024 Sauvignon Winkl opens with a refined mix of minty herbs, green melon, lime zest and crushed stone. The palate is juicy in character with silken waves of citrus-inflected pit fruits and a cascade of spice, all supported by fresh acidity. It is long and full of youthful tension, leaving a sour twang that calls the taster back to the glass for more.

A minerally style, with hints of smoke and gravel underscoring the crunchy pear, fresh tarragon, grapefruit zest and lentil notes. This is chiseled, with good drive and length, including a zesty feel on the white pepper–laced finish. Drink now through 2034. 24,160 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.
