Sattlerhof Gamlitz Sauvignon Blanc 2023
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. This village wine come from steeply sloping quartz and limestone vineyards 350-450m. It was native fermented in stainless (partial MLF) where it remained on lees for 5 months. Brisk white grapefruit, crunchy green apple, herbal meadow grass lead this nimble mountain white, with a very fine lick of lees to counter, and ample buzzy stony minerality trailing through the lingering finish. A fantastic introduction to place, and family.Tasted: 25 February 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $45.00 | 750ml | consignment |
