2007 Harkamp Sauvignon Blanc Steil

Yeah, I know what you are thinking, an Austrian Sauvignon Blanc? A little pricier than a Chilean, but cheaper than the same quality in a Californian Sav Blanc. We have it on the list at BONDA for $42 - and it is killer.

Classic ruby red grapefruit /cat pee on the nose with notes of gravely soil. Following on the palate, but with something more…terrior I dare say? A sensible Austrian soul? Citrus and acid on the back palate with a flinty minerality, limestone, peach pit and citrusy starfruit. Long finish with a hint of a bitter edge.

Definitely a wine to try if you see it. Only make a few hundred cases make it to the US, so check it out!
