The Sauvignon Blanc Ried Welles 2022 Große STK from Weingut Lackner-Tinnacher exemplifies the distinct terroir of the Welles vineyard, where old vines flourish in gravelly conglomerate soils, giving the wine its unmistakable character. Exquisite wines from STK’s finest vineyards, crafted from 15-year-old vines with limited yields and aged 18 months, released only after May 1st to ensure exceptional quality.

In the glass, it reveals light golden yellow color, silver reflections, with delicate aromas of orange blossom and yellow gooseberries, complemented by fresh citrus zest and subtle white floral notes. A touch of minerality adds vibrancy, depth, and freshness. On the palate, the wine is taut, precise, and well-structured, with yellow fruit flavors, refined acidity, and a balanced, lingering finish.

Decanting or serving in large glasses allows the wine to fully express its multifaceted bouquet.

Versatile and elegant, it pairs beautifully with fish, seafood, white meat, and vegetable dishes, while also showing excellent aging potential.

Falstaff: 97 points
