Harvest:
Hot summer days and rainy and cloudy autumn days were just perfect for the Ptuj's sauvignon. They allowed it to develop the characteristic sauvignon aroma and taste. The sauvignon grapes were harvested  t four different times. The harvest began in the first ten days of September and continued until the last ten days of September. Winemaking: Sauvignon is a combination of four differently ripe grapes and  diverse oenological procedures, such as 100% maceration lasting 8 to 12 hours, strict ageing on fine lees and strictly protective technology, which guarantees the preservation of varietal characteristics,  reshness and drinkability.

Tasting note:
Sauvignon is a typical representative of the Ptujska klet's sauvignon wines, with a strong varietal identity. Its aroma reminds of grapefruit, elder tree, paprika and freshly cut grass. It is a round, rich and full-bodied wine where the acids and the sugars are complemented by the wine's bouquet. Pullus Sauvignon 2010 is a typical representative of the modern Sauvignons from the Styria region.
