Southern Styria is one of Austria's most renowned wine regions, characterized by steep slopes, sun-drenched terraces, and a Pannonian-Mediterranean climate. The soils, composed of slate, limestone, and sandstone, impart vibrant acidity, minerality, and complex fruit aromas to the wines. Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon, and Welschriesling, in particular, thrive here.
Sauvignon Blanc as an orange wine? It tastes quite different: instead of fresh green notes and crisp acidity, it surprises with an amber to golden color, a robust texture, herbal and citrus notes, a touch of dried fruit, a nutty hint, and noticeable tannins. A distinctive, intense character.
