Tasting note
Character
A Welschriesling that demonstrates why Southern Styria takes this often underrated grape variety so seriously. The Sattlerhof Welschriesling DAC 2024 presents itself with the crystalline clarity that has distinguished Willi and Andrea Sattler for decades. Green apple and citrus fruits dominate the aromatic profile, underpinned by that fine minerality which can only originate from the marl soils of Gamlitz. With its 12.5% alcohol and dry style, this is a wine of remarkable drinkability that nevertheless possesses depth. The vibrant acidity ensures freshness and length.
Terroir & Origin
The Südsteiermark DAC ranks among Austria’s most exciting wine regions, and Gamlitz forms its heartland. Here, between the Koralpe and the Slovenian border, a Pannonian climate prevails with warm days and cool nights – ideal for aromatic ripening. The Opok marl and calcareous clay soils lend the wines their distinctive minerality. Steep slopes with gradients of up to 70 per cent ensure optimal drainage and force the vines to develop deep root systems. These geological and climatic conditions create wines of extraordinary precision and typicity.
Grape Variety & Vinification
In Southern Styria, Welschriesling is far more than a filler variety. At Sattlerhof, it receives the same meticulous care as the estate’s renowned Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed; fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless steel tanks. This gentle vinification preserves the variety’s natural freshness and fruit. The Sattler family follows a philosophy of minimal intervention – the wine should reflect its terroir, not cellar technology. The result is a Welschriesling of remarkable elegance and expressiveness.
Food Pairings
The freshness and minerality of this Welschriesling make it a versatile dining companion. It pairs wonderfully with Styrian fried chicken served with potato salad, a classic of regional cuisine. It also shows its best side alongside pan-fried pike-perch with lemon and herb butter. Its vibrant acidity makes it ideally suited to asparagus in all its forms – whether classically prepared with Hollandaise sauce or as an asparagus salad. Asian dishes such as Vietnamese summer rolls or Thai curry with mild heat find an equally matched partner in this wine. Enjoyed solo, well chilled on the terrace, it reveals its full charm.
