Sauvignon Blanc

The name already reveals that Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape variety. First documented in 1710, it is now the second most important variety internationally after Chardonnay. A natural crossing of Traminer and Chenin Blanc, it probably originated in western France, in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. Sauvignon Blanc made the leap overseas in the late 18th century, first reaching Chile and the USA, and finally New Zealand in the 1970s. Today it is grown worldwide, with around 180,000 hectares planted. It is also gaining ground in Germany, particularly in the Palatinate, Rheinhessen and Baden, where growers increasingly favour this variety described in France as a noble grape. Sauvignon Blanc is particularly comfortable in a temperate climate with alternating warm and cool spells and occasional rainfall. As a single-variety wine, it is fresh with distinct currant and gooseberry aromas, often accompanied by green notes of freshly cut grass. Elegant minerality and typical acidity support its unmistakable character. It is an excellent partner for fish and seafood, or pasta with cream sauces.

Typical gooseberry and cassis aromas on the nose, complemented by delicate exotic notes. The dry white wine is crisp and fresh on the palate, yet pleasantly creamy too.

Keth Wine Estate

Near Worms in Rheinhessen, the Keth family has been running its estate for five generations. This has built up a wealth of knowledge about vineyard work, the climate and nature, combined with solid practical skills. Several generations of the Keth family live under one roof. Responsibilities are allocated strictly by wine type: Georg-Jakob, the father, is responsible for red wines, while his son Matthias makes the whites. The senior winemaker matures his red wines in the impressive cross-vaulted cellar. What makes Rheinhessen special is its diversity of soils and many hours of sunshine, particularly on the estate’s south-facing slopes. The vines are planted mainly on limestone soils. This creates a harmonious interplay of sweetness and acidity. In his white-wine cellar, Matthias excels at making particularly clear wines that are very true to their varieties.
