Styria, a region in southern Austria, is a hidden gem celebrated for its crisp, aromatic white wines. Unlike the Danube-dominated regions, Styria's rolling hills and diverse volcanic and sedimentary soils give rise to a different expression of Austrian winemaking. Sauvignon Blanc is a star here, producing intensely aromatic and vibrant wines, alongside excellent examples of Welschriesling, Morillon (Chardonnay), Gelber Muskateller, and Traminer. Styrian wines are known for their bracing acidity, fresh fruit profiles, and often a distinctive herbal edge, making them incredibly refreshing and food-friendly. This region offers a unique and compelling taste of Austria, distinct from the better-known Wachau, and is becoming increasingly appreciated for its singular and characterful wines.

Sauvignon Blanc, a white grape of significant character, is believed to have originated in the Loire Valley of France, where it continues to produce some of the world’s most iconic and expressive examples. This variety has also found success in Bordeaux, where it is often blended with Sémillon, as well as in New Zealand, where it has become a signature grape, and many other regions across the globe. Known for its vibrant acidity and distinctive aromatic profile, Sauvignon Blanc often displays a pronounced greenness, with notes of fresh-cut grass, herbaceousness, and sometimes even a touch of jalapeño, depending on ripeness and region. These traits are often supported by citrus fruits like grapefruit and lime, leading to wines that are both refreshing and complex, ranging from steely and mineral-driven to more tropical and fruit-forward styles.

"Unknown" farming method indicates that the specific vineyard practices used to produce the wine have not yet been clearly identified or verified. Due to limited publicly available information, complexity of research, or lack of transparency from certain wineries, it can sometimes be challenging to accurately categorize each vineyard's farming practices. Our team is actively working to research and update our records to provide the most accurate information on every wine we offer. We understand the importance of transparency and sustainability and strive to categorize and communicate farming methods as quickly and comprehensively as possible.
