2023 Weingut Sattlerhoff Gamlitz Sauvignon Blanc, Südsteiermark, Austria

ABOUT THE WINE

Hailing from the Gamlitz vineyard in southern Styria—Austria’s white wine stronghold—the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc benefits from steep, south-facing slopes and gravelly, limestone-rich soils. These elements contribute to both ripeness and tension, a hallmark of Sattlerhof’s precise style. The fruit was hand-harvested and gently pressed, then fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel to preserve aromatic clarity and site expression.

The wine offers a focused aromatic profile of green apple, elderflower, lemon balm, and crushed stone. Its structure is sleek and elegant, with a racy core of acidity that cuts through the richness of the 2023 vintage. Fermentation and aging on fine lees for several months added texture without softening its vibrant edge. Ideal alongside fresh goat cheese, grilled asparagus, or sashimi, this wine balances freshness with quiet depth.
