SERNAU KÖNIG

Sauvignon Blanc

Elegantly floral with notes of orange flower and –zest, tropical fruitiness, and an idea of gooseberry. Fresh and straightforward on the palate with just the right amount of velvety creaminess. The mineral-salty notes stay on the palate for what feels like forever.

Our Standards

More than 15 years ago we started taking the first steps towards organic farming. We are now in the phase to convert to biodynamics. A logical step for us and a beginning without end. Every year we learn something new, observe nature and get closer to it bit by bit. We see our business as a form of modern circular economy in which wine is part of an overall concept. Partnerships with horse and cattle farmers have just as much space here as the use of the company’s own forest for energy production. Wine as a way of life.
