Q

Grapes for Sudsteiermark DAC

A

Most important is Sauvignon Blanc but other whites allowed now:
* Welschriesling
* Pinot Blanc
* Morillon
* PG
* Riesling
* Muskateller
* Traminer

Particularly in the areas around Eichberg, Leutschach and Gamlitz, Muskateller is one of the prominent grape varieties. Riesling is the speciality of Kitzeck im Sausal, which is home to Steiermark’s steepest and highest vineyards (with gradients of more than 100%) and highest vineyards (up to 600 metres above sea level). Pinot lovers are well-served here, particularly around Ehrenhausen, where the lime-rich soils deliver substantial Morillon (Chardonnay) wine, amongst others
