✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Vinothek Reserve' represents the absolute pinnacle of Weingut Tement's winemaking artistry, sourced from the most prized parcels of the legendary Ried Zieregg. This steep, amphitheater-like vineyard sits on a prehistoric coral limestone reef that straddles the Austrian-Slovenian border, a unique geopolitical terroir where vines literally grow across national boundaries. While the standard Zieregg is already a masterpiece, the Vinothek Reserve undergoes an extraordinary maturation process, resting undisturbed on its fine lees in neutral oak casks for up to six to eight years before bottling. This patient, slow-motion aging coaxes out an unparalleled depth of character. The resulting wine transcends typical Sauvignon Blanc, trading primary fruit for profound, multi-layered complexity—weaving together notes of wet flint, dried wildflowers, white truffles, and candied citrus, all bound by a tense, vibrating core of limestone minerality.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Det familieejede Weingut Tement blev grundlagt i 1959 og regnes i dag for et ubestridt referencepunkt i Südsteiermark, smukt beliggende på de stejle, dramatiske skråninger langs den østrigsk-slovenske grænse. Vingården opnåede international berømmelse under Manfred Tement og drives i dag videre af sønnerne Armin og Stefan Tement med en kompromisløs, certificeret biodynamisk tilgang. Vinmarkerne er rige på kalksten og koral-kalkholdig jordbund, hvilket danner grundlaget for husets verdensklasse Sauvignon Blanc og Morillon (Chardonnay). Vinene udmærker sig ved deres knivskarpe præcision, store lagringspotentiale og dybe terroirpræg, ikke mindst i de ikoniske enkeltmarksaftapninger fra berømte cru-parceller som Ried Zieregg og Ried Grassnitzberg.
