The Sausal region, which stretches around the South-Styrian village of Kitzeck, ranks among Austria´s most historical winegrowing areas. The vineyards are planted at altitudes of 380 to 650 meters above sea level. With an average steepness of up to 80%, they belong to Europe´s steepest vineyard sites.

From several very low yielding vineyards on red slate and quartz soils, the 2022 Kitzeck-Sausal Riesling opens with a clear, bright and intense, beautifully ripe and refreshing Riesling aroma intertwined with coolish layers of slate and lemons. Medium to full-bodied, lush and elegant on the palate, this is a lively and refined, playful and mineral dry Riesling with a juicy and saline finish with lemon bitters. It is mouth-filling but lifted and finessed. Gerhard Wohlmuth describes the 2022 Rieslings as "very austere, even without the addition of sulfur," and "enormously spicy." 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in May 2023.
