✨ Technical Specifications
Weingut Tement's Muska.t Brut is a sparkling masterpiece that highlights the vibrant, aromatic potential of Gelber Muskateller (Yellow Muscat), one of the world's oldest cultivated grape varieties. Sourced from the steep, wind-swept hills of Southern Styria, where cool alpine breezes meet Mediterranean influences, this traditional-method sparkling wine captures the region's unique terroir. The grapes are harvested by hand from limestone-rich soils, ensuring a high natural acidity that balances the variety's intense aromatics. Through careful bottle fermentation and lees aging, Tement tames the wild, floral nature of Muskateller, transforming it into an elegant, bone-dry sparkling wine filled with notes of elderflower, fresh nutmeg, and citrus zest, underpinned by a distinct salty minerality. It represents a sophisticated, modern Austrian take on a historic grape.
