Franz Gojer is a small, highly regarded producer in Alto Adige, crafting precise, mineral-driven wines from the steep mountain vineyards around Bolzano. The Sauvignon Karneid 2025 comes from Gojer’s Karneid vineyard, a high-elevation site that benefits from cool alpine air, bright sunlight, and rocky mountain soils.

This Sauvignon is sourced from a south-facing parcel, giving the wine excellent ripeness while still preserving the freshness and lift that define Alto Adige whites. Unlike more tropical or overtly grassy Sauvignon Blanc styles, Gojer’s version is more refined and reserved, showing beautiful aromatics with a clean, mineral backbone.

Expect notes of white peach, citrus, tomato leaf, fresh herbs, and subtle mineral tones. The wine is crisp and focused, with elegant texture, bright acidity, and a refreshing finish. It is a polished mountain Sauvignon that balances aromatic character with restraint and finesse.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Excellent with grilled fish, shrimp, scallops, oysters, sushi, goat cheese, asparagus, green vegetables, herb-roasted chicken, pesto pasta, fresh salads, and lighter Mediterranean dishes. It also works beautifully with lemony seafood preparations and dishes with fresh herbs.

Style: Crisp, aromatic, mineral-driven, elegant
