Vineyard terraces, a gravity-fed cellar dug into the hillside, precise winemaking and pure flavours. These are the first things that come to mind about the Lajvér estate, from where we’ve already selected from the tanks of the New World-style Sauvignon Blanc, in the second vintage. In 2022, instead of the cut grass and green aromas and flavours, we felt pure citrus and grapefruit in them. Modern structure, rich nose that’s full of fruits, lively acidity on the complex and fine palate, with a slightly mineral finish. The hand-harvesting was followed by reductive processing, temperature-controlled fermentation, and then short ageing on fine lees.
