Parker about Sauvignon Blanc Réserve 2023
Vinified in 500-liter tonneaux, including 35% new, 35% second-use and 30% older barrels, and inspired by Mersaults rather than any Sauvignon Blancs, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Réserve is picked from the top of the Morstein at an altitude of up to 265 meters above sea level. Deep and intense, rich, very elegant and slightly toasty, powerful but refined, this is a mouth-filling, complex and sustainable Sauvignon with a long, intense and saline finish. It aged sur lie for 20 months and was bottled in July 2024 with 13% stated alcohol and a natural cork. Tasted in August 2024.
Suckling over Sauvignon Blanc Réserve 2023
A masterpiece of flint and pink- and yellow-grapefruit intensity! Gigantic energy on the concentrated and compact, medium- to full-bodied palate. All the elements interlock so beautifully and the combination of power and moderate alcoholic content (12.5%) gives it a brilliance that’s utterly compelling. Incredibly long, elegant finish. From organically grown grapes from the Morstein GG site. Drink or hold.

Sauvignon Blanc Réserve 2023
The Sauvignon Blanc Réserve 2023 from Weingut Weedenborn is a top-tier, terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc that impressively unites elegance, depth, and power.
Sourced from premier limestone-rich parcels and vinified with meticulous care, the wine unfolds a complex interplay of aromas on the nose: ripe gooseberry, yellow kiwi, and citrus zest, underscored by delicate herbal notes, subtle reduction, and an elegant oak spice derived from gentle barrel maturation.
On the palate, the wine reveals a creamy texture, immense depth, and a seamlessly integrated acidity that imparts freshness and tension. Pronounced minerality adds further refinement, while the long, saline-savoury finish underscores the grand potential of this extraordinary Sauvignon Blanc.
A characterful, long-lived wine that pairs ideally with rich fish dishes, seafood, or aromatic cheeses, and will continue to gain complexity with bottle age.
