Tement Sauvignon Blanc Ried Zieregg Kapelle Südsteiermark DAC 2022 13% vol. 1.5 l

The Tement Sauvignon Blanc Ried Zieregg Kapelle Südsteiermark DAC 2022 13% ABV 1.5 l is an outstanding single-vineyard wine of international calibre, bearing the unmistakable signature of the renowned Tement winery. The Ried Zieregg Kapelle is regarded as one of the most famous single vineyards in Southern Styria and towers above the winery as a high plateau – a place where cool winds meet intense sunshine, producing grapes with exceptional aromatic density and mineral vigour.


The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and are 100 per cent from the estate’s own vineyards. The wine is vinified in the traditional manner, with spontaneous fermentation followed by 30 months’ ageing on the fine lees in small, used oak barrels. The soils of this vineyard consist of water-repellent, heavy clay and loam over coral limestone, which lend the wine its characteristic depth, salty minerality and structure. With a Lager potential of at least 25 years, this Sauvignon Blanc is a long-lived, complex wine of rare precision. Sealed with a natural cork, decanting is strongly recommended to allow the full bouquet to unfold.

Awards:

- 97/100 points from Falstaff

On the nose, a multifaceted bouquet unfolds with aromas of flint, citrus fruits, yellow gooseberry and delicate herbal notes, underpinned by mineral and smoky nuances. On the palate, the wine is crisp, juicy and complex, with a dense texture and dark fruit underpinned by lively acidity and chalky minerality. The finish is precise, long-lasting and elegant, with a subtle salty note that authentically reflects the terroir of the Ried Zieregg.
