The St. Michael-Eppan 2021 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin feels like an ice cube on the palate that refreshes and revives. This is a sharply tonic and lean wine with great tension and energy. The bouquet opens to passion fruit, lychee, green papaya and underripe pineapple. The alcohol content is recorded at 14%, which seems a little high for an Alto Adige wine, but the heat is well absorbed by the wine's lean texture. Zesty exotic fruit appears on the finish. Sanct Valentin sees mostly stainless steel with 25% aged in tonneaux.
The 2018 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is a careful and clever interpretation of this grape. The wine's aromatic impact is strong and lasting, yet it is never too zesty or pungent. In fact, you get softer Sauvignon Blanc tones of citrus and fragrant white peach but none of that tomato leaf aroma. The wine also successfully plays up its lean mouthfeel, giving you a tonic and bright mouthfeel that is not too thin or short. Those distinctive mineral tones of Alto Adige appear on the close.
