Sand wine

Become a Premium Member today!

Colloquial term without viticultural significance for a wine made from grapes from vines planted on sandy soils. A sandy soil generally produces elegant, fragrant and rather low-acid wines. One of the peculiarities of this type of soil is that it is immune to phylloxera. A well-known sand wine is the Portuguese Colares from the sand dunes of the area near Lisbon. The wines from the Austrian wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee (Seewinkel) and the Hungarian Alföld (Hungarian lowlands) are also named in this way.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
