It displays all the familiar Sauvignon aromas. And beyond that, an impressive depth, precise, tightly-knit and powerful, it rolls over the tongue, leaving salty memories. Perhaps the finest, most subtle, and most puristic Kranachberg ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent with Asian dishes, robust fish, shellfish, and asparagus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSattlerhof Ried Alter Kranachberg – Wine Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alte Kranachberg is one of, if not the top vineyard site in Southern Styria. Steep slopes, unpredictable weather, and diverse soils are the characteristics of the Southern Styrian wine region. The single vineyard stretches between Gamlitz and Leutschach and is primarily planted with Sauvignon Blanc (approx. 90%). The unique composition of these soils (calcareous sands with light mica) gives the wine an unmistakable spice with distinctive fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fully ripe grapes from this top vineyard site, which is managed sustainably and biodynamically, are selectively hand-picked. Definitely one of the most successful wines from the exciting 2014 vintage. It's actually still too young to enjoy, but 5 years of bottle aging have done it good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sattlerhof Alter Kranachberg Sauvignon Blanc needs a lot of air; right from the start, it shows very mineral notes of cold smoke and white marble. These do not come, as one might think, from oak aging, because the wine was completely fermented and aged in steel tanks, but from the unique site. Over time, more and more aromas emerge, reminiscent of fennel, asparagus, and green apples. Then it releases exotic yellow fruit notes like honeydew melon and pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimal drinking maturity until 2035 and longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSauvignon Blanc – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Südsteiermark DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSite Ried Alter Kranachberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroße STK Lage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass Vino Lok closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespekt Biodyn Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.5 % vol.
