Südsteiermark Sauvignon Blanc
Sattlerhof is a leading producer in Austria’s South Styria (Südsteiermark), known for their benchmark examples of Styrian Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc. The Sattler family has been growing wine in the village of Gamlitz since 1887, and they were one of the first in the region to bottle high quality dry white wines under their own name in the 1970s. Willi Sattler grew the estate to 40 hectares of organically / biodynamically farmed vines in some of the region’s most famous vineyards including grand crus Kranachberg and Pfarrweingarten, now joined by his two sons Andreas and Alexander. Their vineyards are centered around the village of Gamlitz, located less than 10km from the Slovenian border.
Crunchy tangerine, white grapefruit, lime zest streaks across the palate, with an ever so slight slick of lees to buffer the buzzing acidity. Snappy and singing, and an excellent introduction to Südsteiermark.
“Strikingly peppery, with a subtle flinty reduction, this Austrian sauvignon blanc is a true outlier—distinctly of its place and unlike expressions found anywhere else in the world. Eschewing overt ripeness and the typical green, grassy tones, it leans into texture and purity. There’s no excess, no adornment, just a lifted, mineral core that speaks of precision and restraint. On the palate, it’s vibrant and refreshing, offering delicate notes of white tea, grapefruit zest, lime, and a hint of sage, all carried through on a finish of impressive length. A memorable discovery. Tasted May 2025." - 92 points, Sara d’Amato, WineAlign.com
"Austria's southern province of Sudsteiermark is one of the world's great secret sauvignon enclaves. This is a very fine example from a leading producer, with lifted, well integrated aromas of nettle, grapefruit/lime, gentle evergreen and green pear fruit. It is light to mid-weight, lively and refreshing with dry, pithy and quite mineral finish. The length is excellent. Joy and comfort here. Tasted May 2025." - 91 points, David Lawrason, WineAlign.com
