Reviews
James Suckling 92
Punchy sauvignon nose with plenty of gooseberries, guava, white asparagus and stones. Fresh and medium-bodied on the palate with flavor intensity and length. Crunchy, salted green apples in a medium-long finish.

An elegant white, light-bodied and lithe, with delicate hints of chive blossoms, Thai basil and pink grapefruit zest accenting flavors of melon and gooseberry, stone, ground ginger and white pepper. Creamy finish.

Aged three-quarters in stainless steel and one-quarter in oak, the balanced St. Michael-Eppan 2022 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is redolent of green papaya, tropical fruit, tomato leaf and a hint of struck match, which indicates some minor reduction. Fruit is harvested from gravel soils at a cool 450 to 600 meters above sea level. The wine's consistency is a little thick, and you feel the effects of a warm vintage on the palate more than you do on the bouquet.
