🔍 Eye: The wine presents itself in the glass with a bright, light yellow colour interspersed with green reflections.

👃 Aroma profile: The bouquet is characterised by a mix of smoky, spicy, tropical and varietal notes:

  • Exotic & fruit: Ripe yellow gooseberry, kiwi, pineapple.

  • Vegetal & mineral: White asparagus, boxwood (classic for Sauvignon Blanc), hay and a fine smoky note.

  • Supplementary: Fresh notes of grapefruit, elderflower and freshly cut grass are also described.

👅 Palate & finish: On the palate, the wine is supple and round, with clear, juicy fruit. The firm, ripe acidity provides structure and freshness, while subtle phenolics and fine spice add complexity. The finish is harmonious, lively and lingeringly fresh.

⭐ Ratings: 91+ Falstaff points (tasting 2024). The high score emphasises the exceptional quality of this white wine.

🍽️ Food recommendation and drinking maturity

With its lively acidity and elegant structure, this Sauvignon Blanc is a versatile food companion. Ideal with:

  • Fish: e.g. salmon and potato pan.

  • Poultry: Excellent with chicken.

  • Light cuisine: Spinach gratin with almonds or Asian cuisine.
    The 2022 vintage is already accessible, but also shows good ageing potential. It should be enjoyed at a drinking temperature of 8-10°C.

💡 Brief classification: Durbacher Schloss Staufenberg

The Markgraf von Baden winery cultivates 24 hectares of grape varieties such as Klingelberger Riesling, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - as well as this Sauvignon Blanc - at the Schloss Staufenberg site in Ortenau. The steep slopes of the Schlossberg with a gradient of up to 60% and the warm, mild climatic conditions create ideal conditions for viticulture.
