2013 Vulkanland Steiermark Ried Moarfeitl Sauvignon Blanc trocken STK Grosse Lage, Styria/Steiermark, Austria

Presents, almost cool blackcurrant nose with paprika, a hint of mango, blackcurrant leaves, and spinach, as well as light nutty tones. Quite juicy, ripe, dense, and tart fruit with an almost sweet melt and fine acidity bite, quite aromatic on the palate, distinct blackcurrant tones, again a bit of mango, along with ethereal herbs, sustainable and strong on the palate, but also with a certain freshness, a little vanilla and brittle in the background, slightly creamy texture, sustainable, certain depth, a lot of salt, smoky nuances, very good, firm, juicy, and distinctly ethereal-aromatic finish. Initially shows a certain breadth, but becomes noticeably tighter, more precise, and cooler in the air.

Best to drink: Bis 2027+. What our ratings mean
