WINE DESCRIPTION
The Tement family's pursuit of absolute perfection is evident from the moment you have this seemingly "simple" regional wine in your glass. There are no compromises in terms of quality. It boasts a spicy and highly aromatic bouquet of gooseberries, elderflower, and white currants, accompanied by hints of hay and wildflowers. The intensity is undeniable, as is its exhilarating freshness and finely-tuned minerality. The finish is highly engaging, with ethereal herbal notes and a subtly salty-chalky minerality. Rightly so, it embodies the archetype of Austrian Sauvignon Blanc in the crystal-clear style of Tement.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Tement Kalk & Kreide Sauvignon Blanc is a signature wine, akin to salted lemon.We wish everyone had as much character as this wine. Our vision of Southern Styria, our region. Brimming with fresh citrus notes, local yellow fruits, elderberry, and blackcurrant. Mineral-driven and razor-sharp. It quenches your thirst.
It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity makes it an excellent companion to seafood, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. It also complements fresh salads, goat cheese, and light pasta dishes.
