Josef Umathum works biodynamically in Burgenland's schist and gravel soils, where cool lake breezes temper Austria's warmth. This steel-fermented, estate Sauvignon Blanc captures that balance—bright citrus peel and herbaceous notes unfold with surprising gentleness. At 11.5% alcohol, it feels refreshingly unforced, maintaining the grape's natural tension while offering clean, mineral-driven length. It is a crisp style of Sauvignon with notes of dusky crushed stone and yellow apple. In the expert hands of Pepi Umathum, this is more reminiscent of Muscadet than the tropical or grassy renditions found frequently elsewhere in the world.
