Weingut Gross
Steiermark | Südsteiermark | Ehrenhausen
Johannes Gross is the fifth generation of his family to farm and make wine in Ratsch, on the poetically hilly, verdant edge of Südsteiermark (southern Styria). It’s a place defined by climatic tension between the Alps and the Adriatic with steep, terraced hillsides, a mélange of volcanic and sedimentary soils, and a range of traditional Styrian varieties, foremost sauvignon blanc. The terrain demands intensive handwork; yields are kept very low. In the cellar, Johannes focuses on spontaneous fermentations and traditional vinification methods. The wines are entrancingly aromatic, playful, lively, and keenly defined.
Weingut Gross 2017 "Jakobi" Sauvignon Blanc
This sauvignon blanc is cool and fresh and full of fragrance: elder and green peppers, star fruit and lemon peel. Grape selection was done entirely by hand, was fully destemmed, underwent a short maceration, followed by a gentle press cycle. Fermentation was slow and temperature controlled in stainless steel tanks, where it remained for five months on the fine lees.
