✨ Technical Specifications
Weingut Tement's Steirische Klassik Weissburgunder is a masterful expression of Pinot Blanc grown in the dramatic, steep hills of Southern Styria. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards characterized by complex soils of shell-limestone (Muschelkalk) and clay. As a pioneer of the region, Tement crafts this wine to embody the traditional 'Klassik' style: vibrant, fresh, and deeply reflective of its cool-climate alpine terroir. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and careful aging on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks and large neutral oak casks preserve the grape's delicate orchard fruit aromas while enhancing its signature mineral tension and elegant texture.
🍾 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.
