The Tement Morillon Ried Sulz Südsteiermark DAC 2022 comes from a distinctive south-south-west-facing basin site, which offers a particularly warm microclimate due to its closed shape. Ried Sulz is one of the winery's most important sites and is considered an ideal location for Burgundian varieties such as Morillon due to its structure. The site is characterised by blue and brown limestone marl, a slope inclination of 45 percent and an orientation of 150° SE to 220° SW at 430-472 metres above sea level. The interplay of these factors creates optimal conditions for vines with a high degree of ripeness; the vines in this vineyard are 29 years old. After natural spontaneous fermentation, the wine matures for 30 months on the fine lees in small French oak barrels (228 litres) and is then bottled unfiltered. A natural cork serves as a classic closure. The ideal drinking age is between 2026 and 2046, which emphasises the remarkable development potential of this bottling.


The origin from the powerful Kessel vineyard and the long yeast maturation give this Morillon Südsteiermark DAC a clear structure and the Burgundian elegance that characterises the Ried Sulz. The combination of specific terroir, old vines and precise, minimally invasive vinification results in a wine with pronounced site typicity and a fine, focussed style. The unfiltered bottling enhances the authentic expression and emphasises the Tement winery's philosophy of creating wines of origin, depth and exceptional longevity. In culinary terms, the 2022 vintage proves to be a versatile, structure-emphasising companion that convincingly complements both full-bodied dishes and finely composed meals.

Tasting Note

A clear, light yellow colour in the glass. Roasted pineapple, salted lemon, green tea and ethereal herbs on the nose. Discreetly smoky on the palate, carried by precise, supporting acidity and a taut, austere style. The finish is focussed, mineral and long-lasting.

Acidity: 6.9 g/l

Residual sugar: 1.1 g/l

This Morillon Ried Sulz harmonises perfectly with braised dishes, such as veal cheeks, braised root vegetables or gently cooked chicken dishes, whose structure corresponds ideally with the concentrated nature of the wine. It is equally harmonious with pasta, especially variations with mushrooms, herbs, lemon butter or a gentle creaminess. It is also ideal for sophisticated menus, accompanying fish dishes with a subtle smoky flavour or Mediterranean dishes with fine herbal accents. Its precise, elegant structure makes it a wine for special moments and long culinary evenings.
