2017 Süd-Steiermark Ried Kranachberg Sauvignon Blanc Reserve trocken STK Grosse Lage, Styria/Steiermark, Austria

Very firm and deep aroma of rather light yellow fruits with fine green-vegetable aromas, some minerality and smoky, again light wood aromas. Firm, powerful and juicy in the mouth, very ripe fruit, melting, but also grip, very fine acidity, light wood tones, dense and persistent on the palate, still rather undeveloped, also has cool elements despite all the power, peppery in the background, a hint of yeast, clear minerality, compact structure, black berry and floral hints, multi-layered, very good, slightly alcohol-warm finish with nutty-smoky wood hints, plenty of minerality, and fine vegetal flavours. May mature further.
