One hundred hectares, three generations, a single vineyard that straddles a national border. Tement is Austria's most celebrated Sauvignon Blanc address — and that is only half the story.
The flagship vineyard Zieregg does not stop at the border. On the Slovenian side it is known as Fosilni Breg — fossil hill —, belongs to the independent label Ciringa, and grows on identical soils. One hill, two labels, two passports when you read the back.
In between and beyond: a Burgundy-inspired Pinot Noir from one of Styria's oldest Pinot plantings. Morillon — the Styrian name for Chardonnay — from fossil shell-limestone soils. Gelber Muskateller, bone-dry rather than sweetly floral.
Six wines reveal what the estate is capable of today.
