The southeastern corner of Austria and the northern edge of Slovenia is a bright green-gold landscape called Styria, where Alpine foothills meet the headwaters of the Adriatic Sea to the west and the warm Pannonian Plain to the east. The striking green tint to the land is due in part to the rich volcanic soil that gives Austrian Steiermark the new appellation title Vulkanland. It is also covered in steep hills facing every which way, where vines bask in the Mediterranean sun during the day, and cool down in the Alpine breeze at night. It is a perfect place for powerfully flavored and crisp wines. Christoph Neumeister is best known for the iconic Sauvignon Blanc of the region, but he also blends Gelber Muskateller, Welschriesling, Müller Thurgau, and Scheurebe into a classic Austrian Gemischter Satz. Raised in stainless steel tanks to preserve clear headed aromas of apple blossom, orange, and a crisp and flinty mineral note. The palate is crisp and zesty, with notes of salted lemon, lime, and rosewater followed by a mineral burst on the finish. Substantial enough for curried chicken salad, white fish, and salty cheese on a board.
