This Austrian Sauvignon Blanc is juicy and expressive, with aromas of green apple, celery, mint and papaya. The palate is compact and precise with a persistent finish and juicy acidity.

Fully ripe, organically grown grapes are sourced from the Sattlerhof vineyards situated in and around the Gamlitz village, including some grapes from their top vineyard sites. The vines are located on steeply sloping vineyards 350-450 metres above sea level. The distinctly cool microclimate and the limestone and quartz soils contribute to the elegant and refined character of this wine.

Wilhelm and Maria Sattler own 35 hectares of vineyards in the Austrian village of Gamlitz, near the Slovenian border. The Sattler family have made wine at their 300-year-old farm since 1887. In the 1960s, they were among the first in the region to bottle high-quality dry white wines under their own name and today, the family business has passed to Willi and Maria’s sons, Alexander and Andreas. While their parents still take a keen interest in the estate, Alexander is now responsible for the vineyards and viticulture and Andreas heads up the winemaking. The vineyards are farmed using organic and biodynamic principles and starting with the 2021 vintage, all the estate wines are Respekt-certified.
