2024 Sauvignon Blanc Jerman Sommelier diary #115


Jermann’s 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant expression of one of Friuli’s most successful white varieties, shaped by cool breezes off the Adriatic and soils that bring clarity and tension to the fruit. The 2024 vintage, marked by balanced ripening and bright natural acidity, results in a wine that is aromatic yet classically poised — expressive without exaggeration.
On the nose, the wine opens with lime zest, passionfruit and lemon verbena, complemented by fresh cut grass and hints of wet stone. There’s a clear, crystalline quality to the aromatics that feels lifted and energetic. The palate is crisp and focused, with citrus and tropical fruit flavours carried by vibrant acidity and a distinct mineral thread. A touch of herbal nuance and saline lift keeps the profile refined rather than overtly plush, while the finish is long and refreshing, echoing citrus oil and orchard fruit.
This Sauvignon Blanc blends immediate appeal with structural balance — bright, engaging and delicious on its own or with lighter fare.
Corked Points: 91/100
