Pale lemon in colour, this wine opens with aromas of white pear, elderflower and yellow bell pepper. The palate makes way for layered citrus fruit flavours, complemented by refreshing acidity.

Fruit for this wine is sourced from vineyards situated on very steep hillsides where the soils are composed of sand, gravel and limestone. The Sattlerhof family manages the challenging landscape and weather in Southern Styria with sustainable growing practices and careful selection, resulting in wines that are aromatic and expressive. All work in the vineyard is carried out by hand.

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.
