Wohlmuth, Ried Phyllit Sauvignon Blanc Sudsteiermark 2023

92 points Falstaff
"Pale yellow green colour. Meadow herbs, delicate hints of guava, some nettles, a hint of citrus, fresh bouquet. Juicy, tightly knit, white stone fruits, subtle hints of herbs, apples on the finish, salty and lemony aftertaste, versatile."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Kitzeck im Sausal is a village that deserves high praise. That’s because it boasts the highest-in-elevation wine estates in Austria. But it takes more than a mountaintop to create great wine. It takes many generations of the Wohlmuth family who have been making 100% single-estate-grown wine here since 1803! The Ried Phyllite Sauvignon Blanc is grown on steep slopes (40-60%) in Paleozoic shale soils at altitudes of 400-540m. Tasting Notes: Spicy, smoky, multi-layered aromas, complex, with strong terroir character.
