Werlitsch Vom Opok Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Sauvignon Blanc

Styria, Austria

“Opok is a chalky marl found in Southern Styria where Ewald Tscheppe of the Werlitsch estate works his vineyards biodynamically and follows priciples of natural winemaking in the cellar. His wines are characterful, expressive and unique, true testaments to his inquisitive search for what lies beneath the obvious and superficial.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are planted on limestone-rich clay and kept on the skins for a few days before being pressed and spontaneously fermented in large oak barrels. The wine is then aged on the lees in 300 - 3000l oak barrels for 18 months. This is a complex, precise Sauvignon Blanc, with a smoky minerality and nuanced herbal notes.” -Winemonger
