4/25/2024 - empty_sad_bottle Likes this wine: 92 points

Aerated for about 1 hour, served in a Burgundy Glass. Pale golden colour.

Nose: Flor yeast, golden delicious apple and pear at first. Lemon zest, salted almonds, savoury herbs and hints of exotic fruit follow as well. Towards the end, the wine shows bread rind, chalk and bay leaf.

Palate: Golden delicious apple, pear, lemon zest and yeast on the palate, notes of savoury herbs come through afterwards. Very fresh acidity, noticeable viscosity and salinity. Bread rind, smoke, salted almonds and herbs on the finish.

Really interesting, basically Jura meets Südsteiermark. Flor yeast grew in one of the three barrels this wine was made from and they decided to stick with it.

Brief note.
Good varietal notes with some grassy meadows and gooseberry.
Not very complex but what one would expect from this entry level sauvignon.

From magnum. Beautiful nose with lemon, honey, apricots, minerals, and hay. Good acidity balancing out the weight and richness of the palate with layered notes of more lemon and apricots, and bright yellow fruit flavors. Long finish. This is a huge, ripe, powerful wine with even a hint of residual sugar, but it feels balanced and really well put together. Probably wouldn't drink this every day, but it's serious and delicious once in a while.

Citrus, gooseberry, bell pepper, and schist on the nose. Nice acidity with riper flavors on the palate, peach, lemon, apricot, and flowers. Nice finish. Very good wine that’s still quite young and has nice complexity. 93-94+

Expressive green Sauvignon Blanc aromas with grass, vegetables, green paprika and cat pee, in addition to some petroleum. Fresh and dry on the palate.

So this is the Fassreserve of their top Morillon, apparently the first vintage they did this. More than 4 years aging in big, neutral oak and steel before bottling. The bouquet is terrific, even more so after some hours in the decanter: hay, apricots, orange zests, fresh herbs, maybe corn, with savory undertones, very pure and clean, very subtle oak. The palate is maybe even more remarkable: round, silky, airy texture, weightless, with crystal clear precision and just an overall feel of great "calmness" that makes it completely obvious that we're dealing with a truly special Chardonnay of extraordinary quality. Long, fresh finish. Beautiful. 18.5/20

Pale straw color. Pretty nose of white florals, lemon zest, crushed rocks. Definitely more restrained for sauvignon blanc but in a good way. Similar flavors on the palate with juicy acidity and a slightly rounded mouthfeel. Bit of salty minerality on the finish. Enjoyed this a lot and would definitely rebuy.

Full bodied but delicate SB from steep slopes and mostly Opok soils and old vines (= alte Reben). Interesting palate with currants, lemon, smoke (wood barrel maturation), salty minerals, and herbs.
Nice food pairing with beetroot carpaccio with goat cheese, thyme, walnuts, and honey.

Falstaff: 92

Vom hässlichen Entlein zum Schwan!
Der Wein hatte mir in den bisherigen Begegnungen wenig zu sagen. Korrekte Aromatik aber wenig Druck, schwächelnden Säure. Jetzt ist das ganz toll, ein wahrlich Grosser Wein aus Grosser Lage.
Balanciert, tolle Struktur, gelbfruchtig und mit schönem Gewürztouch, tolle Frische.
Ein toller, grosser Südsteirer!

Marl and sandstone and left in the barrel this long on purpose. This is hard to summarize. 54 months on the lees. Like beethovens 3rd for the first time. Catastrophically mind blowing about what sb can be. Loads and loads of structure which is why they hold it so long without sulfur.

They leave the wine in the barrel for four years because it needs that much time to develop. Candied fruit. So powerful because of the marl soils.

A special bottling of Weingut Gross's Sauvignon Blanc made only in exceptional vintages. Selected bunches from old (+40 yo) vineyards are left to shrivel and turn overripe on the vine before harvest. The grapes are fermented spontaneously in oak barrels and then aged for 18 months in barriques. Often the wine doesn't ferment to full dryness, but instead the wine finishes slightly off-dry. After aging in barriques, the wine is blended together and aged in stainless steel tanks, then bottled and released only after several years of bottle aging. 14,5% alcohol. Tasted blind in a Sauvignon Blanc tasting.

Concentrated, deep burnished golden yellow color. Very powerful, rich and concentrated nose with somewhat oak-driven aromas of honey, ripe golden currants, some creamy oak, light oaky notes of caramel and vanilla, a little bit of green currant leaf character, a sweet hint of apple jam and a developed touch of beeswax. The wine feels big, ripe and concentrated on the palate with a noticeably full body and rich flavors of ripe peach, savory wood spice, some honeyed tones, a little bit of vanilla, light sweet notes of apple jam, an exotic hint of papaya and a touch of caramel oak. The high alcohol lends some obvious warmth to the palate and the overall feel is somewhat oily and quite heavy due to the rather modest medium-plus acidity. The finish is rich, somewhat sweet and perhaps off-dry with persistent, powerful flavors of apple jam, almost overripe apricot, some savory wood spice, a little bit of vanilla, light oaky notes of caramel and toasty character, a hint of ripe Golden Delicious apple and a touch of beeswax. The high alcohol makes the wine end on a moderately warm note.

I had no idea where we were with this wine, as it was very much unlike any Sauvignon Blanc I've had before. Based on the noticeable ripeness and rather liberal use of oak, my guess was a Californian Fumé Blanc, but apparently I was way off. This is a real powerhouse of a wine where the varietal characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc get pretty much overwhelmed by the noticeable ripeness and rather pronounced oak influence. However, the wine was quite impressive and wonderfully complex for such a big wine, and the overall feel was remarkably youthful for the age - I guessed the wine couldn't have been older than 10 yo, so I guessed 2013. Wrong again. All in all, this is not my kind of wine in any way - this is sort of "white wine for Amarone drinkers" - but it is very impressive and well-made for what it is. Recommended if you like your wines huge in every way. One can argue whether this is worth the 59€, but I guess there's very little competition for these kinds of wines, so I guess it is correctly priced, if you can't find wines like this at lower prices!

Helles, klares Strohgelb, mittlere Viskosität im Glas. In der Nase vielschichtig - leichte Exotik, etwas Apfel, Pfirsich. Am Gaumen eine fruchtige Säure, die sehr betont ist. Ein mittlerer Körper, mittlerer Alkohol, saftig und mit einer leichten Herbigkeit erfrischend. Der Abgang säurebetont, für mich sogar zu viel des Guten. Nicht unbedingt mein Wein, aber ein Allrounder als Speisebegleiter, mit dem man um diesen Preis auch nicht viel falsch machen kann.
