Erwin Sabathi Grauburgunder Ried Jaegerberg Suedsteiermark DAC 2022 13% Vol. 0,75l

The Erwin Sabathi winery, founded in Leutschach an der Weinstrasse in green Styria, Austria, experienced a significant upswing in 1992 when Erwin Sabathi, a tenth-generation descendant, joined his parents' business. On this basis, he independently established the now renowned "Erwin Sabathi" brand.

The winery's coat of arms is characterized by rich symbolism embedded in a design of black and gold elements. Divided by a golden crosshair, the first field shows an oak tree with three leaves and three acorns, the second a vine with grapes and leaves, the third two diagonally crossed swords and the fourth a brown trout - all in gold. Above this coat of arms is a helmet with black and gold covers, on top of which is a black cushion fringed in gold, on which two golden lions hold a silver shell. These elements symbolize stability and value.

Erwin Sabathi Grauburgunder Ried Jaegerberg is made exclusively from 100% Pinot Gris grapes, which are carefully harvested by hand and traditionally fermented with natural yeasts. This organic wine matures for 11 months in large, traditional oak barrels, which gives it a pronounced depth and complexity. With a storage potential of at least 10 years and a screw cap, this wine offers excellent ageing potential.

Situated in the cadastral municipality of Kranach, Gamlitz, the Jaegerberg vineyard benefits from moderate temperature differences between day and night, making it an ideal location for cultivating Burgundy varieties such as Pinot Gris. These climatic conditions allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, allowing the wine to develop its characteristic elegance and fine aromas.
