Von Winning, Pfalz (Germany) Sauvignon Blanc “II” 2023 ($21, Skurnik Wines)

Feb 5, 2025

By Andrew Holod
Wine label

This bright, zesty Sauvignon Blanc combines both cool notes of freshly cut green grass and herbs along with a richer, melon-tinged ripeness. The flavors last and last, leading into an impressively impactful and persistent finish. The textural aspect of this wine elevates it well above the sea of mass market Sauvignon Blanc from any appellation for just a few dollars more per bottle. This wine is made from two sites in Diedesheim, Paradiesgarten (“Paradise Garden”) and Herrgottsacker (“Lord God Bless”). I do love German vineyard names.
