Cool and well-nourished limestone soils at high altitudes in the Palatinate serve as the foundation for the Kaitui Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes have an enormous influence on the exotic fruit character of the popular Kaitui. The location and perfectly healthy grapes, harvested at different stages of ripeness, are a simple yet effective recipe for success for Markus Schneider. In New Zealand, the overseas home of Sauvignon Blanc, KAITUI is the Maori translation for the word \"tailor.\" While this refers to the profession rather than the name, it didn't bother Markus Schneider when naming his popular Kaitui. A white wine legend that you absolutely must try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSauvignon Blanc from the Palatinate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the Kaitui Sauvignon Blanc radiates a soft light yellow color with slight greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers typical Sauvignon Blanc aromas: lemongrass, lime, and green apple mark the path to the first sip. There, the Kaitui shines with a light minerality and powerful gooseberry aroma, fine melt, and a long, exotic-fruity finish.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarkus Schneider – Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Markus Schneider himself enjoys drinking fresh, brilliant Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand. This gave him the idea to create such a wine in his home region of the Palatinate, which shares a similar climate to the other side of the globe, following the New Zealand model. He began planting Sauvignon Blanc vines on the diverse soils of the Palatinate early on and experimenting with them. But even though the Schneider Sauvignon of the first vintage already showed the finesse of the later cult wine, it sold hesitantly. A friend living in New Zealand then gave Markus the idea to name it Kaitui, thereby building a bridge between the old and new wine worlds. The complexity of the Kaitui is owed to the different harvest times of the Sauvignon. The early harvest brings green, grassy notes; the main harvest stands for fruity, juicy notes as well as a fine spice; and the late-harvested, fully ripe grapes contribute expressive exotic fruit notes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage was a very differentiated year – as varied from village to village as never before. Some vineyards suffered from torrential rainfall, others from drought. In Ellerstadt, the Schneider family was blessed with the weather. 2023 brought a spring without frost and a very warm summer with precipitation exactly when it was needed. Added to this was picture-perfect weather during the harvest time in September with 298 hours of sunshine, double the long-term average. Around 50 harvest helpers were the guarantee for one of the greatest vintages in the estate's history during the harvest from September 4th to October 20th.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll grapes are gently processed in a modern press house; after a short maceration period of 4 hours, they are pressed gently under low pressure and then aged in stainless steel tanks under temperature control without external intervention.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKaitui – a wine and its values  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegion Palatinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Sauvignon Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVintage 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScrew cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e12.5% vol. alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e4.9 g\/l acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1.0 g\/l residual sugar \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Markus Schneider","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53073787715918,"sku":"008WMS1519","price":12.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"6x 750 ml","offer_id":59140445700430,"sku":"008WMS1519_6","price":69.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/markus-schneider-kaitui-sauvignon-blanc-2024.jpg?v=1751009256","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/markus-schneider-kaitui-sauvignon-blanc-2024","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
