Sattlerhof Sauvignon Blanc Gamlitz 2018

The Sattlerhof Gamlitz Sauvignon has a lovely aroma that is recognisably Sauvignon Blanc but the aromas of herbs and passion fruit are subtle and it’s not simply a varietal wine. There’s something that seems dusty and flinty mixed with stony spice.

There’s a slight hint of celery salt and wild grasses. It tastes bone dry, super-crisp and quite linear yet not lean thanks to the texture derived from those yeast lees. It’s an unusual combination of stony minerality and herbal/citrus fruit with an intensely salty and mouth-watering aftertaste.
