Chalky, marl soils, steep slopes, and an elevation of close to 500 metres all contribute to this mineral, salty, fresh, linear wine with a long length and slightly ripe fruit flavours. The wine still maintains an electric racy acidity which is in line with the producers’ description of 2015 as a warm vintage, but in which acidity was maintained. Sudsteiermark is located in southeastern Austria along the Slovenian border and is characterized by plentiful hills and steep slopes. Sauvignon Blanc is the most important grape variety in the area.
