Polz 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Ried Hochgrassnitzberg (Steiermark) [6/750]
This celebrated wine can lay claim to being one of the two or three deservedly most famous Sauvignons of Steiermark. Hochgrassnitzberg is a limestone-rich vineyard site at the home base of Polz in Spielfeld. The Sauvignon vines are 30 and 42 years old, time enough to imbue the resulting wines with aristocratic power and refinement. It is at the beginning of a long career!
