Erwin Sabathi Sauvignon Blanc Leutschach 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 Sauvignon Blanc Leutschach is made exclusively from hand-picked Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are fermented with natural yeasts and matured for 12 months in traditional oak barrels. As an organic product, the wine has a drinking potential of up to 5 years and comes with a practical screw cap.

As an expression of its terroir, Sauvignon Blanc Leutschach reflects the characteristic features of its home, Leutschach an der Weinstrasse. The warm climate with moderate rainfall and the cool winds of the Koralpe promote significant temperature differences between day and night, ideal for the development of fruity aromas.

Geologically, Leutschach is located in an area characterized by extensive marine deposits from the southwestern Styrian sea basin. These conditions contribute significantly to the unique character of Sauvignon Blanc from this region.
