✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from the high-altitude, wind-swept slopes of the Hochkittenberg vineyard in Southern Styria, this Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) represents a highly expressive, terroir-driven style. The vineyard, sitting at elevations up to 650 meters, features a unique soil composition of red gravel, slate, and limestone. Crafted with minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, and extended lees aging in neutral oak, this wine showcases the vibrant acidity, mineral tension, and elegant stone fruit character typical of Tement's mountain-grown whites.
