2012 Burgenland Sauvignon Blanc

The Michael Opitz Reserve is a stunning Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque region of Burgenland, known for its pristine vineyards and favorable microclimates. This delightful white wine presents a light-bodied character that enchants the palate with its crisp and refreshing acidity, making it invigorating and enjoyable. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of zesty citrus and green apple, beautifully complemented by subtle herbal undertones that are signature to the varietal. The wine is bone dry, allowing its vibrant flavors to take center stage without any interference from residual sweetness. A true testament to the craftsmanship of winemaking in Burgenland, this Sauvignon Blanc invites you to savor every sip and appreciate its elegant balance and complexity.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
