I found the following vivino review useful:

Organic & Byodinamic producer. 
This sauvignon Blanc is coming from new and old vines owned by the estate. 
Half of it is fermented in steel, half in new casks. Light colour.Closed on nose.  
The palate shows a citrus backbone with delicate stone fruit notes. 
Sharp acidity. Good mineral finish but a bit short. Young & simple.
