The Best Sauvignon Blancs from Austria
Sauvignon Blanc might not be Austria’s premier calling card, but is swiftly gaining in popularity. Austria’s best Sauvignon Blancs are cultivated on the steep slopes of its southernmost wine region of Steiermark (aka Styria) which emerged as a Sauvignon Blanc hot spot virtually out of nowhere. Styrian Sauvignon Blancs show aromatic finesse and delicacy, yet boast a vigorous character with notes of meadow herbs and gooseberry. Their racy acidity will tingle your tastebuds and have you reach for another glass in no time. The single-vineyard wines, often aged in oak, age beautifully and make extremely gastronomic wines with a few years of bottle age. Here is Falstaff’s selection of the best.
