The Story
The terroir is a mix of 55 Sauvignon plots of their best southern Styrian vineyards, mainly grown on mineral limestone and chalk soils. 'Kalk & Kreide' translates to 'limestone and chalk'.
About the 2021 Vintage: Mature, crystal-clear wines from perfect grapes-- these are the characteristics of the 2021 vintage, which will probably be talked about for a long time. January and February was marked by picturesque days. The conditions were dry and sunny, ideal one for pruning and binding work. March was then rather cool and moist, budding came later than in previous years. Also in April and May cool, damp weather dominated. The early summer was then moderate with later flowering, which then lasted for several weeks. The dry and warm autumn then created first class conditions. In short: our expectations for the 2021 vintage are high. The grapes were perfect, though yields were also lower than expected. Thanks to the ideal levels of maturity, expect elegant wines that are very juicy and concentrated with compact structure and harmonious acidity.

About Tement
Producer Story
Armin Tement happily joined his family winery in Sudsteiermark (South Styria) in 2005. His father, Manfred Tement, had over time, firmly established Weingut Tement as a benchmark producer for Styrian Sauvignon Blanc and Morillon. Tement is specialized in making exceptional single-vineyard wines, but the flagship is the regional Sudsteiermark Sauvignon Blanc “Kalk & Kreide”. It is a blend from fifty-five sites and the name describes the main terroir, limestone and clay. Like all of their wines, the grapes are harvested by hand.
