Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Deep straw yellow with a silvery rim.
Nose
Initially, the nose shows a pronounced reduction. With a little aeration, a multi-layered spectrum of aromas reveals itself, featuring orange blossom, yellow kiwi, passion fruit leaves and pink grapefruit, underpinned by fine notes of tomato leaf and red gooseberries.
Palate
On the palate, the wine presents itself with focused sharpness and energetic tension. The vibrant, piquant acidity marries with a grippy, herbal phenolic structure. Bittersweet citrus accents, cedarwood and a lime-free terroir structure lend it tremendous grip and poise.
Finish
The finish is immensely vital, spicy and long-lasting. A Sauvignon Blanc that continues to evolve and improve over several days in the glass.
Terroir & Origin
The Große STK® site Ried Sernau König in Southern Styria is defined by deep, lime-free gravelly soils. Weingut Tement farms its steep slopes biodynamically (Demeter-certified, respekt-BIODYN) and cultivates 26-year-old vines here.
Grape Variety & Vinification
100% Sauvignon Blanc. Following spontaneous fermentation, this vintage matured for 28 months on the fine lees in large oak casks. Bottled unfiltered and sealed with a glass closure (Vino-Lok).
Food Pairings
Outstanding with scallops in citrus butter sauce, pan-roasted turbot with fennel, or cured trout with herbs.
Special Features
An exceptional wine with great ageing potential that benefits significantly from decanting in generous carafes.
