Signum Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc Turmalin Ried Kreuzberg Südsteiermark DAC

Austria, Südsteiermark

2018

Signum Blanc is the signature project of four friends, two winemakers and two wine enthusiasts. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is very expressive; lime, gooseberry, apple, paprika and grass are clearly focused. There’s an exuberance of expression combined with subtle oak and a certain mellowness that makes this ideal with seafood.

SIGNUM BLANC: Precious Stone – Precious Wine

SIGNUM BLANC is the signature project of four friends: winemakers Thomas and Toni Rothschädl, and wine enthusiasts Christine Büchl and Martin Oertel.

SIGNUM BLANC produces first-class white wines from South Styria, Austria, grown on an extraordinary terroir. Located on the southern slope of the more than 600-meter-high Kreuzberg, the barren, weathered rock is interspersed with black tourmaline – a precious stone that imparts perfect elegance and complexity to the wines.

The combination of precious stones in the soil, old vines, decades of natural cultivation, and selected plots at steep altitudes results in wines of exceptional elegance, smoothness, and longevity.

SIGNUM BLANC cultivates four grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon (Chardonnay), Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc.

Tasting
NOTES

Very expressive, open nose with aromas of lime zest, grapes, gooseberry, ripe red apple and herbaceous notes including paprika and green grass. There’s a clear focus and an exuberance of expression surrounding the concentrated fruit which is brought to life with a fresh mint streak. Lively acidity with well integrated subtle oak overtones - a relatively mellow Sauvignon Blanc.
