Frauwallner Sauvignon Blanc Straden Vulkanland Steiermark DAC 2023 12,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Frauwallner winery is located in Karbach, Straden. The foundation stone was laid by Walter's grandparents, Hilda and Josef Ruckenstuhl, on their farm with a small area of vines for self-sufficiency. Today, the second and third generations work hand in hand: the winery is run by Walter and Petra Frauwallner, supported by the next generation.

The wines come from the renowned vineyards Buch, Stradener Rosenberg, Steintal and Altes Steinkreuz. Manual work, quality-oriented foliage care and careful grape selection during the harvest are a matter of course. Decisions about the right time for vineyard work and harvesting are based on gut feeling, head and experience. The quality of the grapes reaches the bottle through solid craftsmanship and finely tuned cellar technology.

The cellar, built in 2008 in the middle of the Buch vineyard, offers more space for steel tanks and oak barrels, thus creating "more space for time".

Sauvignon Blanc Straden is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes that thrive on slopes with volcanic rock, basalt and limestone gravel. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand at the end of September. After a maceration period of 2 to 3 days, 80% of the wine is matured for 6 months in stainless steel tanks and 20% for 6 months in 500-liter wooden barrels. The wine is then bottled with a screw cap.

The Sauvignon Blanc Straden has a storage potential until 2029 and offers a complex and harmonious taste experience thanks to its balanced maturation in stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels.
