In the glass
Aroma: grapefruit, elderflower, passion fruit, fresh herbs
Palate: citrus, creamy lees, saline minerality, wet stone
Cantina Tramin's selection Sauvignon Blanc, oak-aged on lees from the loamy soils that give the wine its name. Full-bodied, structured and saline, designed for cellaring rather than the bright herbal style of cool-climate Sauvignon.

- Asparagus with hollandaise Sauvignon Blanc is asparagus's classical pairing; Loam's body holds against hollandaise butter.More wines for vegetables and salads →
- Goat cheese tart Citrus and elderflower flatter fresh goat cheese; lees-driven texture matches pastry.More wines for lamb →

History
Cantina Tramin launched Loam in the early 2010s to demonstrate that Sauvignon Blanc from the cooperative's loamy parcels could deliver an age-worthy, structured style. Lees ageing in large oak builds the texture that distinguishes Loam from the cellar's bright Sauvignon entry-level.

Frequently asked about Loam Sauvignon Blanc
What does Loam Sauvignon Blanc taste like?
Grapefruit, elderflower, passion fruit and fresh herbs on the nose; citrus, creamy lees, saline minerality and wet stone on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity and a long mineral finish.
When should I drink Loam?
Drink between 3 and 12 years from vintage. The oak-aged structure makes Loam unusually age-worthy for Sauvignon Blanc; cellared bottles develop honey and saline complexity.

Grilled white fish with herbs, asparagus with hollandaise, or a goat cheese tart. The wine's full body and herbal register suit vegetable-forward and shellfish dishes.
