Polz 2021 Steirische Spiegel (Riesling - Sauvignon Blanc)

This wine is quite simply one of the most ridiculous bargains in the history of Austrian wine. Riesling is not a big thing in Steiermark, but Polz has a small area planted to it in their best sites of Grassnitzberg and Hochgrassnitzberg, where it thrives on the limestone-rich soils. The class asserts itself spectacularly, while the idea of blending in Sauvignon Blanc is simply inspired, the two varieties melding seamlessly and unexpectedly. In 2021, Christoph spiced up the brew with a big dollop of Scheurebe. Overall, the wine is tender and snappy, with a cool green tone and quince fruit.
