The Hannes Sabathi NZ 66 Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a distinctive, terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Südsteiermark (South Styria) region of Austria, celebrated for its vibrant and precise white wines. “NZ 66” refers to a specific vineyard parcel characterized by limestone-rich soils that lend the wine its signature minerality and tension.
In the glass, it displays a brilliant pale straw color with green reflections. The nose is both expressive and refined, revealing aromas of lime, pink grapefruit, and ripe gooseberries, complemented by notes of elderflower, freshly cut grass, and subtle flinty minerality.
On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, lively, and precise. Bright acidity provides freshness and drive, while ripe fruit nuances remain beautifully balanced by a saline, chalky undertone. The finish is long, clean, and elegant, leaving a lingering aromatic impression.
Perfect with oysters, ceviche, goat cheese, asparagus, and delicate fish dishes, it also shines as a refreshing aperitif.
