✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the extreme, sky-scraping slopes of Kitzeck-Sausal—the highest wine-growing region in Austria—this Sauvignon Blanc is a masterclass in cool-climate, high-altitude viticulture. Unlike the limestone-dominated soils of Weingut Tement's home estate, the vineyards of Kitzeck-Sausal are defined by ancient, weathered Devonian slate (Schiefergestein). This unique, mineral-rich bedrock forces the vines to dig deep for nutrients, imparting a distinctive smoky, flinty, and highly crystalline character to the wine. Hand-harvested from dramatic slopes with gradients of up to 80%, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation and extended aging on the fine lees. This traditional, low-intervention approach preserves the vibrant, saline tension and wild herbal complexity that make this slate-grown Sauvignon Blanc so legendary among alpine wine lovers.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Det familieejede Weingut Tement blev grundlagt i 1959 og regnes i dag for et ubestridt referencepunkt i Südsteiermark, smukt beliggende på de stejle, dramatiske skråninger langs den østrigsk-slovenske grænse. Vingården opnåede international berømmelse under Manfred Tement og drives i dag videre af sønnerne Armin og Stefan Tement med en kompromisløs, certificeret biodynamisk tilgang. Vinmarkerne er rige på kalksten og koral-kalkholdig jordbund, hvilket danner grundlaget for husets verdensklasse Sauvignon Blanc og Morillon (Chardonnay). Vinene udmærker sig ved deres knivskarpe præcision, store lagringspotentiale og dybe terroirpræg, ikke mindst i de ikoniske enkeltmarksaftapninger fra berømte cru-parceller som Ried Zieregg og Ried Grassnitzberg.
