As "the Tuscany of Austria", Styria is a bucolic, pastoral landscape of rolling hills and cool Mediterranean influenced climate. Most of the area is still poly cultural and less than 5,000 hectares are devoted to vineyard lank, this is a world unto itself.

Here, you will find almost no Grรผner Veltliner or Riesling, and Blaufrรคnkisch or Zweigelt. The superstar of the south is actually Sauvignon Blanc.

The Tement family have been the benchmark producer of the region for two generations producing, what some consider, the world's best Sauvignon Blanc (don't tell Vatan or Vacheron, but it's pretty darn amazing).

Terroir driven single vineyard wines are the stars of the show and rife with mineral intensity. All of the them are made with spontaneous fermentation and aging in mostly large neutral oak barrels with little to no sulphur until just before bottling. While gorgeous on release these are wines that will continue to develop and unfold for years in the cellar.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

"We never had a quality like this before in this category," says Armin Tement. He even feared that the wine could be too complex for a generic wine. Indeed, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Kalk & Kreide opens with an intense and concentrated, grassy and stony but also earthy and intense bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits, crushed salt and lemon aromas. Fermented in stainless steel and large oak vats until the bottling in May this year (there is a bottling every single month starting with April), this is a full-bodied, complex and vibrantly fresh and phenolic Sauvignon with still-challenging grip but excellent potential. It's very intense and juicy but still terribly young. With over 100,000 bottles produced, this is the signature wine of the domaine. 13% stated alcohol. Glass stopper." -Stephan Reinhardt

"This taut, medium-bodied white has a talc frame around lemon zest, gooseberry and flint notes. It displays great length and cut, leaving a mouthwatering feel, which keeps making you reach for more." -Aleks Zecevic
