Regular price
Producer: Karl & Eva Schnabel
Region: Südsteiermark
Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc
Style: Orange

Size: 75cl bottle

The maceration gives a lovely balance to the ripe Sauvignon fruit. Quite dense in texture and dark in colour but still has lovely acidity and minerality to balance out the heady fruit.
