Sauvignon Blanc Sattlerhof Südsteiermark 2022

Südsteiermark is also known as Styria, in the south of Austria, across the border is Slovenia – the scenery is very reminiscent of that of the Gaube property which we visited on our Slovenia tours in 2017 and 2018.  Südsteiermark is considered a world-class region for Sauvignon Blanc, and it is here that Willhelm and Maria Sattler own 35 hectares of organically farmed vineyards in the village of Gamlitz. The Sattler family have been making wine at their 300-year-old farm since 1887.

Pale lemon in colour with a zesty, gooseberry and subtle herbal nose. On the palate, this wine is bursting with apple, pear and ripe apricots, balanced by delicate salinity and crisp acidity thanks to the cooling influence of the Alps.

Super with shellfish, or any kind of fish and of course my beloved Crottins du Chavignol, the cheese of Sancerre.
