Sauvignon Blanc Ried Gaisriegl 2017

With over 12 hectares of vines, Gaisriegl is the largest and the most important vineyard. It has been in the family’s possession for the longest amount of time and coincides with the origin of the Schauer winemaking tradition. This steep, South-facing slope is dominated by red schist soils and is responsible for the winery’s most prestigious wines. This is where the following single vineyard wines are created: Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling showing inimitable freshness and minerality. It goes without saying that at 470 - 560 metres above sea level, only manual labour is suitable. Right at the top of Gaisriegl lies the winery, making Gaisriegl the foundation and quality guarantor all in one.

Slate Soil, Altitude, Cool Climate & Handcrafting. Located in Austria’s highest-lying wine region of Sausal, the town of Kitzeck is home to the SCHAUER winery – a family business where tradition, vertiginous single vineyards, sustainable philosophy and wines full of elegance and finesse are the order of the day.
