On the south side of the Sausal mountains in South Styria, in a municipality called Kitzeck im Sausal, lies Michi Lorenz’s estate. With 16 hectares of vines, Lorenz is making wine in an area known for some of the best sauvignon blancs in the world. His vineyards run on steep slopes at an altitude of 620 meters, comprised of a slate-schist soil that endows his wines with an exceptional mineral quality that is characteristic of the region. Lorenz farms organically, boasts a biodynamic certification from Demeter, and harvests his grapes by hand. Vinified naturally, without fining or filtration, Lorenz’s wines allow the wild nature of South Styria to come through in the glass.
