Ciringa 'Fosilni Breg' Sauvignon Blanc

This comes from northern Slovenia right on the Austrian border, an area I [Chris] have been obsessed with for Sauvignon Blanc for years. The Tement family started Ciringa in 2009 and works a crazy steep hillside by hand, growing nothing but Sauvignon on soils similar to Chablis and Champagne. They give the juice a short skin soak, ferment it slowly in big old local casks, and somehow land on a wine that’s insanely energetic, textured, and focused without tasting oaky at all. Alpine Sauvignon at its absolute best.

We love it with… salmon caesar salad, fruity curry dishes, tom yum soup
