Weingut Erich & Walter Polz
Weingut Erich & Walter Polz operates in Südsteiermark, Austria's southernmost wine region, where limestone-rich soils and Alpine influence shape distinctive white wines. The winery focuses on Sauvignon Blanc, the region's signature variety—a grape that thrives in these conditions, yielding wines marked by mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The portfolio includes Hochgrassnitzberg Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, Therese Sauvignon Blanc, and Steirische Klassik Sauvignon Blanc, each expressing the terroir's character at different levels of complexity. Wine Spectator has rated these releases, recognizing their quality across the range. Südsteiermark's cool climate and volcanic geology produce Sauvignon Blancs with crisp acidity and layered fruit—wines that reflect both the region's natural advantages and the winery's commitment to the variety.
