ABOUT THIS WINE
The Weingut Hofbauer-Schmidt Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a white wine from the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria.

Johannes Hofbauer-Schmidt's passion for Sauvignon Blanc, developed during an internship in New Zealand, influences the winery's philosophy of producing 'trend-free, self-confident' wines. The estate's vineyards are situated at an altitude of 365 meters, benefiting from chalky, gravelly loess soils and a climate conducive to late ripening. The winery has been SUSTAINABLE AUSTRIA certified since 2019, reflecting a commitment to nature-oriented viticulture.
