Wine Description for Tement Weinstock Alte Reben 2021

Character

The winery Tement ranks among the defining addresses of South Styria – and this Welschriesling from old vines embodies precisely the philosophy for which the house is renowned: wines that speak not loudly, but with precision. At 13.5% vol. and with a dry profile, it displays the depth and substance that only old vine stocks can produce, with their deeply rooted access to mineral soil reserves. Not a wine for impatience – a wine for attention.

Terroir & Origin

South Styria is one of Central Europe’s most exciting white wine regions: hilly, wind-shaped, with an interplay of continental and Mediterranean influences that enables both freshness and ripeness. The Opok soils – a characteristic alternation of marl and sandstone – lend the wines of this region their distinctive mineral tension. Old vines intensify this expression: lower yields, greater concentration, deeper rootedness in the place.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Welschriesling in Styria is no compromise, but a serious choice. Often underestimated, the variety shows its true class on old vine stocks and in the hands of a committed winemaker like Tement: vibrant acidity structure, floral finesse and a texture that gains weight with the age of the vines. The vinification follows the Tement philosophy: crafted with precision, with respect for the raw material, without excessive cellar intervention.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The crisp acidity and dry profile make this wine a reliable companion at the table. Recommended with grilled freshwater fish, trout meunière or pike-perch fillet with root vegetables. Equally harmonious with Styrian cheese board, vegetable quiche or an appetiser with pumpkin seed oil – the liquid gold of the region. A wine that tastes of home.
