The Girlan winery is located in the heart of Italy's Alto Adige wine region, also known as South Tyrol. This area is known for its mountainous landscape and perfect conditions for producing high-quality wines. Founded in 1923, the winery has since built a reputation as one of the region's finest white wine producers. Girlan has a long history of producing high-quality wines and has developed over the past decades into one of the most important wineries in Alto Adige. The winery owns numerous vineyards in the region, managed by experienced winemakers who strive for perfection in every bottle they produce.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are hand-picked, placed in small containers, and transported directly to the winery. Here, the grapes are gently pressed as whole bunches, and the must is clarified by natural settling. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This ensures that the wine retains its characteristic flavor and aroma. After fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for six months in stainless steel tanks without malolactic fermentation. This gives the wine greater depth and complexity, while preserving its fruity, fresh flavor.
Girlan Indra Sauvignon is a delightful white wine with a pale lemon-yellow color and green hues that exudes freshness and youthfulness. The nose reveals fresh citrus aromas such as grapefruit and lemon, complemented by notes of grass and boxwood, which create a pleasantly green character. A subtle smoky note also emerges, giving the wine refined complexity. The wine has a light body with lively acidity that tantalizes the taste buds and creates a refreshing sensation on the palate. Aromas of citrus, grass, and boxwood are also evident on the palate and are supported by a subtle minerality that contributes to the wine's complexity and depth. The finish of Girlan Indra Sauvignon is long-lasting and refreshing, with a perfect balance of fruity and spicy aromas.
