✨ Technical Specifications
In the steep, wind-swept hills of Southern Styria, Chardonnay is known by its historic local synonym, Morillon—a name steeped in regional lore, tracing back to historical trade routes and monastic influence. Weingut Tement's Ried Rossberg Morillon is a masterclass in capturing this grape's alpine expression. Sourced from the Rossberg vineyard, where cool mountain breezes meet complex soils of calcareous marl and clay, this wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation and extended aging on its fine lees in neutral oak casks. The result is a Morillon of striking tension, showcasing a flinty, saline minerality, vibrant acidity, and a deep, structured core that reflects Tement's dedicated biodynamic stewardship.
