✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, amphitheater-like slopes of the Ried Sulz vineyard in Southern Styria, this wine is a masterclass in the expressive potential of Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc). The Sulz vineyard is renowned for its warm microclimate and complex soils composed of calcareous clay marl, locally known as 'Opok'. Weingut Tement utilizes biodynamic farming and hands-off cellar practices to craft this cuvée. The grapes are harvested by hand, spontaneously fermented, and matured on the fine lees in neutral oak casks. The 'Pino T' designation pays homage to the Pinot heritage of the region, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances a creamy, textured mid-palate with a vibrant, salty minerality and intense structural tension.
