✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
