✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary Weingut Tement in Southern Styria, the 'L&T' stands for 'Leicht und Trocken'—meaning light and dry. This wine is a vibrant homage to Welschriesling, a grape deeply rooted in Austrian tavern culture and daily life. While Styria has gained global fame for its Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling remains the heartbeat of the local 'Buschenschank' (traditional wine taverns). Grown on steep, mineral-rich slopes, the grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel to capture the pristine, energetic essence of the variety. It offers a beautiful narrative of Styrian hospitality, characterized by its bright alpine freshness, crunchy green apple fruit, and a delicate touch of meadow herbs.
