WINE DESCRIPTION

Tement Ried Grassnitzberg Sauvignon Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Austrian winery, Tement. The wine comes from the Ried Grassnitzberg , located in the southern Styria appellation, known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard features steep slopes and mineral-rich soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is a classic example of Styrian Sauvignon Blanc, with vibrant aromas of citrus, green apple, and herbs, a crisp acidity, and a long, mineral finish.
