Tasting Notes

The Sattler family has been growing wine in the village of Gamlitz since 1887, and they were one of the first in the region to bottle high quality dry white wines under their own name in the 1970s. Willi Sattler is the current family member in charge and has grown the estate to 35 hectares of biodynamically farmed vines in some of the region’s most famous vineyards. This 1er cru site is at 600m, the last hillside before the alps. Grapes are rooted in the gravels and stones that have washed down from those mighty mountains. This was native fermented and aged in large old oak. Smoked stone, quince, Anjou pear lead this medium, alpine white, with a beauty texture and fine grip. Quite profound, with massive salts on the lingering finish.
