✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the breathtaking, steep hillsides of Southern Styria, Weingut Tement's Steirische Klassik Gelber Muskateller is a masterclass in capturing the vibrant, aromatic soul of one of the world's oldest grape varieties. Historically favored by ancient civilizations and European courts, Gelber Muskateller finds a unique expression in Styria's cool climate and diverse soils. Tement crafts this wine in the traditional 'Steirische Klassik' style—focusing on purity, freshness, and terroir definition. Fermented spontaneously and aged in stainless steel tanks, it avoids any heavy oak influence to preserve the grape's signature elderflower, nutmeg, and citrus blossom aromatics. The result is a bone-dry, incredibly crisp white wine that defies the sweet stereotypes of the Muscat family, offering a mineral-driven tension that reflects the estate's commitment to biodynamic viticulture.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1959, Weingut Tement is a benchmark family-owned estate situated on the steep, dramatic hills of Südsteiermark along the Austrian-Slovenian border. Propelled to international renown under Manfred Tement and now steered by sons Armin and Stefan Tement, the winery practices certified biodynamic viticulture across mineral-rich limestone and coralline limestone soils. Renowned for their precision, longevity, and profound terroir expression, the estate specializes in world-class Sauvignon Blanc and Morillon (Chardonnay), with iconic single-vineyard bottlings hailing from top cru sites such as Ried Zieregg and Ried Grassnitzberg.
