Mayday Hills Sauvignon Blanc Sour

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate white head that dissipates quickly. The carbonation is present but restrained, giving a still-wine-like quality that reinforces its hybrid character between beer and fermented beverage.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant green apple and gooseberry, underscored by a distinctive cut-grass note from barrel contact with grape skins. Stone fruit and subtle oak tannin emerge on deeper inhalation, with no apparent yeast-derived esters—the fermentation character remains clean and wine-like throughout.

◐ Geschmack

Intensely acid-forward on entry with a bright, puckering sourness that dominates the palate. The mid-palate reveals white peach and soft orchard fruit beneath the acidity, while a grassy herbaceousness persists. Oak appears as a structural tannin grip rather than vanilla or wood flavour, and the 4.9% ABV allows the fruit and acid to remain the focus without warming alcohol notes.

◑ Abgang

The finish is very dry and clean, with a lingering tartness that fades into a mineral-like dryness. A gentle astringency from the tannins and grape skin contact remains on the palate for several minutes.

Serviertemperatur 6–9°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
