Description
The Erwin Sabathi Sauvignon Blanc Ried Poessnitzberg Suedsteiermark DAC 2022 is a deep, terroir-driven single-vineyard wine of great radiance and complexity. As a top site in southern Styrian viticulture, Poessnitzberg is considered one of the most renowned origins for Sauvignon Blanc in the whole of Austria – and this vintage impressively demonstrates why. Produced by the award-winning Erwin Sabathi winery, this wine stands for uncompromising quality, authenticity and sustainable craftsmanship at the highest level.
The grapes come from extremely steep vineyards that can only be harvested by hand. The soil is characterized by poor, highly calcareous marl (Opok), which gives the wine its unmistakable mineral structure. Vinification is carried out traditionally with natural yeasts, which brings out the individual character of the vintage and the site in an unadulterated way. The wine is then matured for 23 months in large oak barrels, which gives it additional depth, elegance and longevity. With a strong alcohol content of 14% vol., bottling in August 2024, a natural cork stopper and a predicted drinking age of 15 years or more, this Sauvignon Blanc is an expressive storage and enjoyment wine experience.
