Neumeister Sauvignon Blanc Klausen Erste STK Lage Bio 2020

Austrian wines enjoy a high international reputation. Styria, in particular, is known for its characterful white wines. Here, wines are created with a distinct terroir influence. Styrian winemakers place value on sustainability and quality. Careful work in the vineyard and gentle processing are crucial, resulting in wines with long ageing potential and complex aromas.

The Klausen site is considered one of the best locations in the region, where the grapes for this special Sauvignon Blanc mature.

Unique Terroir Character

The volcanic landscape of Styria shapes the scenery. Gentle hills alternate with steep vineyards. Calcareous soils and volcanic influence give wines their minerality. The Klausen site is characterised by its south-easterly exposure, which allows for optimal sunshine. Soil composed of sandstone and limestone is ideal for Sauvignon Blanc. Neumeister cultivates this site with great care. Organic cultivation protects nature and promotes quality. The result is a wine with a unique character that reflects the terroir and offers an incomparable taste experience. Climate, soil, and winemaking expertise make this wine special.

Production with Tradition and Innovation

Spontaneous fermentation is a gentle process that allows the natural aromas of the grapes to unfold. Large, old wooden barrels are used for ageing, giving the wine structure and finesse. A mash contact time of 24 hours intensifies aromas. Ten months on the fine lees provide additional complexity. Christoph Neumeister combines traditional methods with innovative thinking and understands how to optimally utilise the quality of the grapes. This creates authentic and modern wines that benefit from this interplay.

Diversity of Aromas and Flavour Profile

A dark-spiced and complex nose defines this Sauvignon Blanc. Sichuan pepper, white blossoms and subtle notes of gooseberry dominate. On the palate, a profound, substantial wine unfolds with long minerality and elegant acidity, which gives it freshness. The finish is long and powerful, leaving a lasting impression. This wine is an expression of precision and finesse, offering a multi-layered taste experience. The aromas are harmoniously integrated and develop in the glass.
