Ciringa Fosilni Breg 2022 375ml

Wine Description for Ciringa Fosilni Breg 2022 375ml by Tement

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, crystal clear in the glass. The half-litre bottle underscores the vineyard site character of this rarity.

Nose

Mineral-precise aromatics with flint and wet chalk. Behind these unfold fine notes of gooseberry, green pepper and elderflower. The fossil limestone soils of Fosilni Breg are reflected in a cool, stony elegance.

Palate

Taut, focused, with vibrant acidity. The moderate alcohol content of 12% ensures drinkability and finesse. Citrus fruits and green apple meet saline minerality. Precisely drawn, without any heaviness – a Sauvignon Blanc of classical reduction and cool elegance.

Finish

Long, saline-mineral, with sustained freshness. The acidity carries far, leaving a stony, almost chalky aftertaste.

Terroir & Origin

Fosilni Breg lies on the Slovenian side of the legendary Ciringa (Zieregg) vineyard site, which Tement acquired in 2004. The fossil limestone soils lend this Sauvignon Blanc its characteristic minerality and tension – a terroir wine par excellence born from the cross-border vision of the Tement family.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Sauvignon Blanc in pure form, vinified in the house style: reduced, precise, terroir-focused. The conversion to organic viticulture – no small feat in the humid South Styria – is evident in the clarity and authenticity of the wine.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect with goat’s cheese, oysters, scallops or asparagus with Hollandaise sauce. Also an excellent choice with smoked trout or sushi.

Special Features

The 375ml bottle underscores the vineyard site character and is ideal for special occasions for two. A wine that bears the signature of Manfred, Armin and Stefan Tement – three generations who take bold steps together and represent South Styria at an international level.
