Die "Steirische Klassik Linie" bezeichnet bei den Neumeisters Weine von großer Fruchtigkeit und Aromatik. Sie sind im Edelstahl ausgebaut und somit besonders sorten- und jahrgangstypisch. Dieser Sauvignon Blanc kommt von Reben die zwischen 8 und 35 Jahre alt sind und in den Lagen Silberberg, Klausen, Himberg und Buchberg und Saziani stehen. Das Bukett verströmt wunderbare Aromen von Cassis, Stachelbeere, Litschi, Grapefruit, Kiwi, Paprika und Gras. Am Gaumen ist der Wein wunderbar fruchtig, elegant, knackig, er hat eine wunderschöne mineralische Note und überzeugt durch ein wunderbares Spiel und einer unglaublichen Länge. Er erhielt 88 Parker Punkte, 89 vom Falstaff und 2 Vinaria Sterne.
