Score 94/100 · Drink 2024-2040, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, May 2021

Quite reductive and lean on the pure and flinty nose, the spicy, leafy and coolish 2018 Ried Grassnitzberg Sauvignon Blanc displays greenish and reddish rather than yellow fruit aromas. Dense and tensioned on the palate, this is an explosive, firm and tannic Grassnitzberg with great power and terroir expression. This coolish, fresh and tensioned as well as concentrated yet by no means just lean or even small-bore Sauvignon is classified as "1 STK" premier cru, but it is as complex as a grand cru from a cooler site. Exciting. 13% alcohol. Tasted in October 2020.

Classified as 1STK (equivalent to premier cru) in the private association known as the Steirische Terroir- and Klassik­weingüter. Quite (attractively) reduced smoky nose. Lively, piercing fruit with some floral, mineral elements. Really nicely balanced and super-refreshing. Now this is a wine to make me recant on all my reservations about the 2018 vintage in Austria! Though it does finish a bit suddenly. There's not that much real fruit intensity… (JR)
