✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted only in exceptional years when the atmospheric conditions of Southern Styria allow for the perfect development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), the BA.T (Beerenauslese Tement) is a testament to the estate's mastery of sweet wine production. In the steep, amphitheater-like vineyards of Styria, cool Alpine air currents clash with warm, humid breezes from the Adriatic Sea, creating morning mists that blanket the vines before giving way to afternoon sun. This unique microclimate encourages botrytis to slowly dehydrate the Sauvignon Blanc grapes, concentrating their sugars, acids, and flavors. Each berry is meticulously selected by hand during multiple passes through the vineyards. The resulting wine is a brilliant golden elixir that beautifully balances luscious, honeyed sweetness with the electric, mineral-driven acidity that is the hallmark of Tement's terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1959, Weingut Tement is a benchmark family-owned estate situated on the steep, dramatic hills of Südsteiermark along the Austrian-Slovenian border. Propelled to international renown under Manfred Tement and now steered by sons Armin and Stefan Tement, the winery practices certified biodynamic viticulture across mineral-rich limestone and coralline limestone soils. Renowned for their precision, longevity, and profound terroir expression, the estate specializes in world-class Sauvignon Blanc and Morillon (Chardonnay), with iconic single-vineyard bottlings hailing from top cru sites such as Ried Zieregg and Ried Grassnitzberg.
