This pure Sauvignon Blanc originates from a small vineyard situated at an altitude of 500 meters in the \u003cstrong\u003epicturesque location of Garnellen\u003c\/strong\u003e in Alto Adige. With an extension of just one hectare, this special place features a unique soil derived from a combination of volcanic porphyry and dolomitic limestone. Producer Andreas Dichristin stands out for his dedication to biodynamic farming, cultivating the vines with respect for nature and biodiversity. This approach is also reflected in the label, where every detail tells the story of Cornus Mas, inspired by the cornelian cherry, which protects the vineyard and sustains its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe magic of Tropfltalhof 'Cornus Mas' begins between the rows, where Sauvignon Blanc vines grow in harmonious coexistence with other crops such as wheat, spelt, and corn. This diversification is crucial for Andreas, who has created a more remote and pure corner of the vineyard, where nature expresses its vitality spontaneously. The north-west vineyard, with bush-trained vines, represents the \u003cstrong\u003ewild and\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003euncontaminated heart\u003c\/strong\u003e of Cornus Mas. Here, from the beginning, there have been no contaminations, only biodynamic treatments, without sulfur or copper. The presence of a tall and dense hedge of wild cornelian cherry not only protects against external intrusions but also serves as a source of life for plants, insects, birds, and animals. This wine is, therefore, an authentic rarity, produced in only 100 bottles, vinified in amphora with a 7-month maceration and an additional 14 months on fine lees. However, the true innovation comes during aging: the bottles are buried in a 1.5-meter-deep pit in the vineyard itself, surrounded by the roots that have nourished the plants and grapes. This circularity-inspired practice gives the label a unique soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen finally poured into the glass, Tropfltalhof 'Cornus Mas' reveals a bright topaz color, accompanied by complex aromas of \u003cstrong\u003ecandied citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehoney\u003c\/strong\u003e, dried \u003cstrong\u003eapricot\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a touch of \u003cstrong\u003eginger\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it expresses itself with elegance, enveloping the palate with an aromatic persistence that speaks of years spent in harmony with nature.
