2017 Sattlerhof Sauvignon Blanc Ried Kranachberg GSTK

“From one of the greatest vintages of the century so far, the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Ried Kranachberg GSTK opens with a deep, clear, intense and substantial, very elegant bouquet of crushed stones, fresh mango and passion fruit aromas. Full-bodied intense and concentrated on the palate, with highly attractive tropical fruit aromas but also fine tannins backing the richness and concentration of this Kranachberg, this is a great wine from Gamlitz and one of the greatest Willi Sattler & Sons have produced in their career. It is maybe even the very best.

Located between Gamlitz and Leutschach, the Kranachberg is the most magnificent site of the domain. The chalky sands with light mica and high manganese content give the wines an unmistakably cool and spicy aroma with a very particular fruit expression. A Kranachberg grand cru (GSTK) always shows depth and muscles and develops a lot of power and length on the palate. In combination with the pronounced terroir notes, this is quite challenging in its youth, but it will inspire with complexity at the ripe age of 10 and more years.”
