Sauvignon Blanc Ried Höllriegel 2021

Game, set and match - when Sauvignon Blanc wins on clay

94 OENUM points | 94 Falstaff points

Concentrated fruit aromas of gooseberries and cassis, typical of the variety, underpinned by fine herbal notes of lemon balm and camomile. Opens up after a while and reveals delicate exotic fruits. Strong but velvety and precise on the palate. Finely harmonious acidity and balanced spiciness create tension and complexity. Stays on the palate for an extremely long time with a slight creaminess in the finale. A certain saltiness dances across the palate in the finish.

Overall, a powerful but not opulent Sauvignon Blanc with elegant use of wood and substantial power. Sandy soils are sexy!
