2021 was the premier vintage of the Sauvignon Blanc Reserve from Salzl Seewinkelhof. Now 2022 is bottled. It is fermented in barriques and matured for 12 months, which makes it stylistically more like a white Bordeaux than a Loire-Sauvignon.
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve by Salzl has an intense straw yellow color with greenish reflections. In the intense scent, as befits this grape variety, there are ripe fruit notes reminiscent of cassis, passion fruit, nettles, gooseberries, vanilla and herbs. On the palate it convinces with a lot of finesse, but also with density and substance. The aromas of the fragrance are reflected in the long finale, plus there is the pleasant barrique spiciness that gives the wine an additional dimension and an almost salty note that is extremely stimulating. Really great!
Even if a new wine is a prognosis due to a lack of experience, we are certain that this Sauvignon also has maturation potential in the bottle. You can, but certainly don't have to, drink it young.
We recommend this classy white wine to accompany dishes with sea and river fish, crustaceans, vegetables and asparagus.
