Tasting note
A single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Polz's Ried Hochgrassnitzberg Grosse STK Lage in Sudsteiermark, a dry Austrian white with elevated extract and firm acidity. The Wine Advocate review and Austrian regional data support a serious, ageworthy Styrian Sauvignon Blanc with high extract, firm acidity and a long drinking window. Bottle condition and storage can change how the wine presents, so the catalog description is a guide to the recorded profile rather than a guarantee.
The 2017 vintage
These years are catalog guidance for this row, not a promise for every bottle. Storage history and bottle condition can shift the pace of development, so the arc should be read alongside the bottle itself.
