NIEDERÖSTERREICH/LOWER AUSTRIA<br />
94 Sauvignon Blanc TBA 2015<br />
Medium gold-yellow. Subtle rhubarb compote, cassis and a<br />
touch of dried apricot and honey. Juicy acidity elegantly<br />
balances the luscious sweetness in this satiny textured<br />
wine. Dried fig lingers on the sweet finish. Superb ageing<br />
potential.<br />

LUDWIG EHN<br />
Family Ehn have been winemakers since<br />
1859 and the siblings Michaela and<br />
Ludwig are the current managers of the<br />
tradition-rich wine estate. The vines grow in<br />
the best sites of Kamptal in the vicinity of Langenlois.<br />
Great respect for this extraordinary<br />
terroir is the foundation for their authentic<br />
wines. The Ehn Family has always been meticulous<br />
about their handcraft and bespoke care<br />
of their vineyards. Michaela’s great passion is<br />
the immersion in nature and contact with the<br />
vines and wines. She is an energetic woman<br />
with a big heart and deep love for life. Ludwig<br />
appreciates the down-to-earth work in the<br />
vineyards and likes to unite this with an open<br />
and contemporary wine style in the cellar. His<br />
motto is: “try the impossible to achieve what is<br />
possible and avoid mediocrity”. The estate’s<br />
most famous vineyard site is the Zöbinger<br />
Heiligenstein, which is classified as an Österreichische<br />
Traditionsweingüter (ÖTW) Erste<br />
Lage (grand cru) and is known around the<br />
world for its Riesling. The Ehns’ exemplary<br />
Grüner Veltliners grow in the Spiegel and Panzaun.<br />
Another outstanding speciality is the<br />
Gemischter Satz from the Alten Panzaun vineyard,<br />
which is a field blend of numerous different<br />
grape varieties growing side-by-side. Equally<br />
distinctive are the fragrant Gelber<br />
Muskateller (Muscat Blanc à petits grains) and<br />
the single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Ried<br />
Seeberg. Gentle fruit handling from the harvest<br />
to vinification are a key to expressive wines.<br />
The assortment ranges from a light Grüner<br />
Veltliner “Verdino” to classic Riesling “Urgestein”<br />
all the way to the Grüner Veltliner “Titan<br />
Spiegel ÖTW 1er Lage”. The Estate’s wine<br />
shop is located just a few steps away from the<br />
Kornplatz main square of Langenlois. The Ehn<br />
wines can be tasted and purchased there in a<br />
relaxed and tasteful atmosphere.<br />
