The Tement Sauvignon Blanc Ried Zieregg Kapelle Südsteiermark DAC 2022 13% Vol. 1.5 l is an outstanding single-vineyard wine of international stature that bears the unmistakable signature of the renowned Tement winery. Ried Zieregg Kapelle is one of the most famous single vineyard sites in southern Styria and towers as a high plateau above the winery - a place where cool winds meet intense sunlight, producing grapes with exceptional aromatic density and mineral tension.


The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and are 100% home-grown. The wine is matured in the old tradition with spontaneous fermentation and then 30 months maturation on the fine lees in small, used oak barrels. The soils of this site consist of water-repellent, heavy clay and loam on coral limestone, which gives the wine its characteristic depth, salty minerality and structure. With a storage potential of at least 25 years, this Sauvignon Blanc is a long-lasting, complex wine of rare precision. Sealed with a natural cork, decanting is highly recommended to allow the full flavour to unfold.

Tasting Note

The Tement Sauvignon Blanc Ried Zieregg Kapelle 2022 presents itself in the glass in a light straw yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose reveals a multi-faceted bouquet with aromas of flint, citrus fruit, yellow gooseberry and fine herbal spice, accompanied by mineral and smoky nuances. On the palate, the wine is taut, juicy and profound, with a dense texture and dark fruit that is supported by lively acidity and chalky minerality. The finish is precise, long-lasting and elegant, with a fine salty note that authentically reflects the terroir of the Ried Zieregg.

Acidity: 7.4 g/l

Residual sugar: 2 g/l

The Tement Sauvignon Blanc Ried Zieregg Kapelle 2022 is a wine for great moments and harmonises perfectly with scallops, grilled fish, poultry in cream sauces, veal chops, goat's cheese, truffle dishes or Asian-inspired dishes. It should be enjoyed at a serving temperature of 12-14 °C, decanted if possible, to allow its full complexity to unfold. Drinking maturity begins immediately and extends well beyond 2047.
