Weingut Sattlerhof
A family-led organic estate in Gamlitz, focused on Sauvignon Blanc and working its vineyards entirely by hand.
Sattlerhof's first documentary mention dates to 1886, when vines already grew around the house on Sernauberg. The property was then a mixed farm with animals and arable fields alongside the vines. The legal founding date of the winery is not known.
Andreas and Alexander Sattler now lead the estate, with a particular focus on Sauvignon Blanc. Both trained in viticulture. Their sister Michaela is responsible for the wines' label designs.
The family works exclusively with organically grown grapes from its own vineyards. Vineyard work is performed entirely by hand, from pruning and canopy work through selective harvesting.
Place
Sernauberg is an extremely steep, southeast-facing vineyard with fine sandy soils and gravelly overlays. Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller are planted there. The estate associates the fine sand with a silky structure in the wines.
Sernauberg is one of four principal named vineyards alongside Kranachberg, Pfarrweingarten and Kapellenweingarten.
Wines
The range represented here comprises Sattlerhof Ried Sernauberg Sauvignon Blanc 2021, Sattlerhof Gamlitz Sauvignon Blanc 2024 and Sattlerhof Gamlitz Morillon 2020. The first links Sauvignon Blanc directly to the Sernauberg site, while the other two carry the Gamlitz name across Sauvignon Blanc and Morillon.
Sattlerhof first bottled Gamlitz Sauvignon Blanc with the 2012 vintage and was among the first producers in Südsteiermark to do so. The named-vineyard range extends beyond Sernauberg to Kranachberg, Pfarrweingarten and Kapellenweingarten.
