Description
Ried Wielitsch is one of the most exciting Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in Southern Styria. The steep, limestone-rich slopes on the Slovenian border produce wines of enormous precision, cool minerality and great tension. The interplay between the altitude and the sparse soils gives the vineyard its distinctive character.
The 2021 vintage produced exceptionally clear and long-lived wines. As a reserve, the Sauvignon Blanc shows considerably more depth and structure while remaining taut and elegantly built. Rather than expressive aromatics, Gallunder deliberately focuses on restraint, minerality and a highly focused style.
The careful ageing gives the wine additional complexity and length without masking the vineyard's origin. As a result, the Ried Wielitsch Reserve is very precise, mineral and almost Burgundian in its elegance, with great potential for development.
