The wine region of Steiermark
Austrian reference for lively, aromatic whites (75% of output). Star Sauvignon Blanc (qualitative banner of southern Styria): precise and taut with signature notes of gooseberry, grapefruit, nettle, cut grass and white pepper, an incisive finish. Fresh, lemony Welschriesling (the most planted), ample Morillon (Chardonnay), floral, muscat Muskateller. Spicy Schilcher rosé in West-Steiermark.
The wine region of Steirerland
Austrian Styria, the country's southernmost region around Graz down to the Slovenian border, vineyards on steep slopes up to 700 m, temperate southern climate. Signature Sauvignon Blanc as white king: lively and precise with notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, elderflower and a mineral touch — mountain benchmark. Tense Welschriesling (green apple, citrus), ample Morillon (Chardonnay), floral Muskateller. Rustic Schilcher rosé from Blauer Wildbacher.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
