Erwin Sabathi Sauvignon Blanc Ried Poessnitzberg Suedsteiermark DAC 2021 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 grape and leaf, 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 Ried Poessnitzberg, made from hand-picked Sauvignon Blanc grapes, is an organic wine that is traditionally fermented with natural yeasts. It matures for 24 months in large oak barrels, which gives it a storage potential of up to 15 years. The wine is sealed with a natural cork.

Ried Poessnitzberg, the southernmost and steepest site in Styria, offers an incomparable white wine terroir. The unique soil structure and climatic conditions of the region shape the authentic characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc. The potential of this site has been exploited since the 1950s and the vines there are carefully tended, which requires predominantly manual cultivation.
