Schauer Sauvignon Blanc Quartz & Slate 2022

In South Styria, there are diverse soil types. The main soils are slate and limestone. Slate soils retain water and heat, leading to slow grape ripening and mineral-rich wines. Limestone soils are rich in minerals and contribute to the complexity and finesse of the wines. The different soil types impart a layered character to the wines, making them unique in taste.

The Sauvignon Blanc from South Styria is an outstanding white wine with impressive freshness and intense aromatic diversity. On the nose, it displays elegant notes of gooseberries, ripe lemon, and fresh grass. On the palate, it is lively and vibrant with a refreshing acidity and a long, fruity finish. This wine is a perfect companion to light dishes, fish, or simply to enjoy in good company.

This wine comes from our preferred vineyards within the traditional winemaking village of Kitzeck im Sausal. With its elevated location and unique slate soils, the "Kitzeck-Sausal" area offers excellent conditions for wine cultivation. Evidently, Kitzeck-Sausal was already a significant winemaking location of the monarchy in 1763. Only selected grape varieties, which have been native to this area for decades, are developed into local wines.
