Erwin Sabathi Winery Ried Pössnitzberg Old Vines Sauvignon Blanc Grosse STK Lage 2015

Erwin Sabathi Winery Ried Pössnitzberg Alte Reben Sauvignon Blanc Grosse STK Lage 2015 impresses with the precise expressiveness of one of Styria's most renowned sites in the Kamptal. The traditional winery focuses on traditional vine training and exclusively selects old vines from the characteristic gravelly weathered grit soil, which gives the wine a unique mineral richness and taut structure. The 2015 vintage became a reference year due to mild autumn temperatures, which gave the Sauvignon Blanc optimal polyphenol ripeness, while the nocturnal cooling completely saved the acid balance. This combination of historic vine material and excellent weather guarantees a white wine of exceptional aging potential and authentic terroir character.

In the glass, the label presents a bright yellow-green hue and a complex bouquet that combines ripe peach fruit with green tomato leaves, sage, and fine quartz dust. The palate feels supple but also has a clear volume and ends with a distinct salinity, which indicates long enjoyment potential. The optimal drinking maturity extends from 2023 to 2029. It pairs well with delicate herb-based saltwater fish, smoked trout with chive notes, or lightly aged alpine cheese, whose structure elegantly complements the mineral core notes.
