Description

Château de Chantegrive, located in Graves, is not yet old, certainly not by Bordeaux standards. The château was founded in 1966 and was founded by Henri & Françoise Lévêque. They were able to realize their dream thanks to the sale of their valuable stamp collection. This can also be the case in Bordeaux.

The 2022 Château de Chantegrive is a blend of Merlot 65% and Cabernet Sauvignon 35%. Lots of fine and ripe red on the nose and some dark fruit, soft herbs and light wood notes. Fruit returns in the mouth with very soft tannins and a ripe fruity aftertaste. A lot of wine for the money.

Weingut Polz is located on the Grassnitzberg in Austria's southern wine region, Südsteiermark. This family business has a rich history that dates back to 1912, when Johann Polz took his first steps in viticulture. Today, the winery is run by the fourth generation, who continue to improve the quality of their grapes and wines with sustainable viticulture and modern technologies.

Although Austria is known for Grüner Veltliner, it is the Sauvignon Blanc grape that steals the show in Südsteiermark. About one fifth of the vineyard area in this region is planted with this grape variety. Sauvignon blanc thrives in the hilly landscape and the relatively mild climate with cool nights. The wines range from fresh and fruity to subtle and elegant.

Weingut Polz offers a wide range of wines, including the well-known Sauvignon Blanc, Weissburgunder and Morillon (local name for Chardonnay). All grapes are harvested by hand. The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks or large wooden barrels. Everything is aimed at preserving the grape's own aromas and freshness.

In addition to making beautiful wines, Weingut Polz is also focused on sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity, and they try to minimize the impact of their winegrowing activities on the environment. They are currently in the process of converting to organic viticulture.
