Styria Wine
Styria, otherwise known as Steiermark, is the southern-most wine producing region in Austria. Unlike many other Southern grape-producing areas, the focus here is on whites rather than reds.
The climate is largely Mediterranean and the region is known for brilliantly-fresh and elegant wines. A specialized focus on Sauvignon Blanc is complimented with other white varieties such as Chardonnay (known as Morillon here), Welshriesling, Traminer, Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris/Rulander.) Here, the wines are often fuller-bodied than their northern counterparts and rich with minerality due to the fossilized seashells in the soil.

Reiterer Schilcher Engelweingarten Alte Reben 2009
Snoothrank:
As its name already suggests this wine came from old vineyards. It means lower yield and stronger aroma and taste than Lamberg or Classic line.

Walter Skoff Skoffignon 2007
Snoothrank:
Amazing sauvignon blanc - if you love whites made in barrique. This one is made in new barrels. But if it is too much for you try Obegg made in used ones.
