Description
The Erwin Sabathi winery, founded in Leutschach an der Weinstrasse in green Styria, Austria, experienced a significant upswing in 1992 when Erwin Sabathi, a tenth-generation descendant, joined his parents’ business. On this basis, he independently established the now renowned “Erwin Sabathi” brand.
The winery’s coat of arms is characterized by rich symbolism embedded in a design of black and gold elements. Divided by a golden crosshair, the first field shows an oak tree with three leaves and three acorns, the second a vine with grape and leaf, the third two diagonally crossed swords and the fourth a brown trout – all in gold. Above this coat of arms is a helmet with black and gold covers, on top of which is a black cushion fringed in gold, on which two golden lions hold a silver shell. These elements symbolize stability and value.
The Gelber Muskateller Ried Krepskogel is a single-varietal Muskateller that grows on poor, highly calcareous marl soil. The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality. After traditional fermentation with natural yeast, the wine matures for 14 months in large wooden barrels. White wine was bottled in November 2024 and sealed with a screw cap to preserve its freshness. With a maturation potential of at least 5 years, it is ideal for both direct consumption and storage.
Ried Krepskogel is the southernmost part of the Poessnitzberg and produces a typical regional Riedenwein that embodies the strong, natural expression of its origins. Named after the former landowner Hans Kreps, the Krepskogel extended over a significant part of the Poessnitzberg in the 17th century. Hans Kreps was already cultivating vines there at that time, as a venerable monument from 1698 attests.
