Ried GRASSNITZBERG Sauvignon Blanc BIO

Single-vineyard Grassnitzberg was the first vineyard owned by family Tement and was planted in the early 50s. The old vines of the south south-east facing slopes grow on massive shell-limestone soil (16 mio year old coral reef).

The outstanding vintage 2019 impresses with deep mineral and citric flavours, caper salt & black currant. A lot of limestone spices are present which leave an eternally long taste.

May be drunk young, but we recommend 3-5 years bottle ageing.

BACKSTAGE “WINE ALONG THE LINE”

As a family and as winemakers we follow principles in life as well as at work. Organic agriculture is one of the principles we hold dear. With the end of the 2018 vintage we made it public and started a never ending journey. Year after year we understand a tiny bit more. Now we grow not on acreage but on responsibilities.
