  • WINEMAKER: Armin Tement with Stefan Tement

  • FARMING: Certified organic with biodynamic conversion completed in 2020; Demeter and respekt-BIODYN member estate

  • VARIETY: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

  • TERROIR: Sourced from numerous parcels across Südsteiermark, where limestone and clay (“Kalk & Kreide”) soils and a cool, Mediterranean-influenced climate shape intensely mineral, terroir-focused wines.

  • VINIFICATION: Spontaneous fermentation with élevage in stainless steel and large neutral oak, minimal sulfur before bottling to preserve site expression and texture.

  • AGING: Matured in a combination of stainless steel and large oak vessels prior to bottling.

  • TASTING NOTES: Bright citrus, yellow orchard fruit, elderflower, and subtle black-currant tones layered over a saline, mineral backbone with herbaceous lift and vibrant freshness.
