Legionärin Sauvignon Blanc 2021

100% Sauvignon Blanc from 20-year-old vines on poor slate soils and coming from biodynamic cultivation. Karl works extremely meticulously, biodyn and manual labour in the extreme. Harvesting takes place at the beginning of October, with strict selection and only the best grape material is processed. After a short maceration period, the Legionarin 2021 is gently pressed overnight and then aged for 12 months in used barriques. Mineral, citrusy and with the finest tannins, this seems incredibly vital, lively, totally cool and all wonderfully in balance. The slate soil lends a vibrant precision and the aromatics of the Sauvignon are completely reduced, the wine is rather dominated by the soil aromas. Bottled by hand in small batches, unfiltered and without sulphur. Karl Schnabel's natural wines are purist ambassadors of their terroir and a flagship for natural wines from Styria.
