Oberkranachberg Sauvignon blanc Südsteiermark DAC 2018

 26,20

Oberkranachberg is a famous vineyard with sandy crushed rock terroir. The grapes are hand-picked very late in the harvest season in order to achieve optimum ripened fruit. Fermentation took place in 3,000 litre traditional French oak barrels as well as the following maturation. The result is a full bodied elegant and supple power wine with complexity and nutty flavours. This multiple awarded wine is best to drink between: 2020 – 2032
