Weingut Tement's Temento Green is a vibrant, youthful tribute to the classic, crisp white wines of Southern Styria. Crafted as an inviting introduction to the estate's biodynamic philosophy, this cuv e harmoniously blends Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling sourced from steep, high-altitude mountain vineyards. The name itself is a playful nod to both the family name and the lush, green, rolling hills of the Steiermark region, often referred to as the Austrian Tuscany. To preserve its energetic fruit profile and electric acidity, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation and are aged in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees. The result is a wine that captures the breezy, alpine freshness and flinty minerality characteristic of the region's unique soils.

Established in 1959 in the picturesque hills of Southern Styria, Austria, Weingut Tement is a family-run estate globally renowned for defining the modern standard of Austrian Sauvignon Blanc. Now managed by the third generation, Armin and Stefan Tement, the winery is situated on the steep, limestone-rich slopes of the legendary Zieregg vineyard. Operating under strict biodynamic principles, the estate focuses on minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, and extended lees aging in neutral oak casks to preserve the intense minerality of their terroir. Their signature single-vineyard wines, particularly the iconic Ried Zieregg Sauvignon Blanc and Ried Grassnitzberg, showcase an unparalleled tension and longevity that have cemented Tement's reputation as one of Austria's premier wine estates.
