Hailing from the breathtaking, steep hills of Southern Styria, Weingut Tement's 'Temento Sweet' is a brilliant showcase of the estate's ability to balance luscious sweetness with the region's signature vibrant acidity. While the Tement family is globally celebrated for their monumental, bone-dry single-vineyard Sauvignon Blancs, this sweet cuvée represents a more playful and immediate side of their winemaking heritage. Grown on mineral-rich soils, the grapes are harvested with a perfect balance of natural sugars and bright, life-giving acidity. The wine undergoes careful temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the intense, primary aromatics of the grapes, resulting in a dessert wine that is incredibly fresh, lively, and never cloying. It captures the essence of Styria's cool-climate alpine influence, offering a dance of exotic fruits, elderflower, and delicate musky spice.

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.
