Sattlerhof Südsteiermark Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Südsteiermark, Steiermark (Styria), AustriaSattlerhof is a leading producer in Austria’s South Styria region, known for their benchmark examples of Styrian Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc. The Sattler family has been growing wine in the village of Gamlitz since 1887, and they were one of the first in the region to bottle high quality dry white wines under their own name in the 1970s. Willi Sattler grew the estate to 40 hectares of organically / biodynamically farmed vines in some of the region’s most famous vineyards including grand crus Kranachberg and Pfarrweingarten, now joined by his two sons Andreas and Alexander. Their vineyards are centered around the village of Gamlitz, located less than 10km from the Slovenian border. Young and bright, with zippy grapefruit, lemon pith, crunchy green apple streaks across the palate, with a slight slick of lees to counter the mountainous acidity and buzzy stony underlay, finishing long and super saline. Such a presence here.Tasted: 11 October 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $28.00 | 750ml | consignment |
