History
Mock is Cantina Bolzano's Election-line Sauvignon Blanc, drawn from steep gravelly slopes around the village of Mock at 500 m above the city. The site's altitude preserves acidity and the gravelly soils deliver the cuvee's signature flint as bottles age.

Frequently asked about Mock Sauvignon
What does Mock Sauvignon taste like?

When should I drink Mock Sauvignon?
Drink between 2 and 8 years from vintage. The wine is unoaked and developed in stainless steel, so it shows best between three and six years when flint notes mature.
What food pairs with Mock Sauvignon?
Pan-seared trout, white asparagus with hollandaise and roast chicken with lemon are the producer's canonical pairings. Goat cheese salads also work.
Is Mock Sauvignon oaked?
