2017 Süd-Steiermark Ried Kranachberg Sauvignon Blanc Grosse STK Ried trocken, Styria/Steiermark, Austria

Firm, somewhat yeasty, yellow-spicy, vegetable and clearly mineral fragrance with quite fine, rather light yellow fruity aromas, floral nuances, herbs, white-fruity tones, currant leaves and minerality. Powerful in the mouth, juicy and sweetish-melty, partly candied and pickled fruit, some yellow spice, herbal aromas and a hint of juniper, very fine acidity, dense and persistent on the palate, warming alcohol, but also cool elements. Floral nuances, a little laurel and fennel, dark berry traces, minerality in the background, very good, tight, juicy, also a little ethereal finish
