The Gamlitz wine region is characterized by its gently rolling landscape with steep vineyards and sandy and gravelly soils interspersed with pebbles and calcareous marl. The vineyards lie at altitudes of 320 to 550 meters and benefit from warm, bowl-shaped slopes and cool hillsides. The wines, especially Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling, display ripe fruit aromas, delicate vegetal notes, and a refined acidity.
King meets archduke: Riesling is found in Styria, particularly near the municipality of Kitzeck-Sausal, where it scores points as a typical single-vineyard wine with expressive character, clear fruit, and minerality. But the king of white wines also populates many a corner of the volcanic region.
