Description

Product description for Tement Morillon Muschelkalk 2022 (bio)

Info

The Morillon is bottled under the Southern Styria appellation. The vines are planted on shell limestone and limestone marl in various locations owned by the Tement family. The vines range in age from 10 to 40 years. 2022 began dry, with very little precipitation in the winter. Vegetation slowly begins at the end of April. At the end of May, the weather changes from dry to warm and humid. The winery recorded a total of 40 rain showers by mid-July. Ventilation and reducing the canopy are the key issues during this phase. 2022 was the shortest harvest ever for the Tement family. All the grapes were harvested from September 12th to just September 24th. 2022 is characterized by relatively low yields but outstanding quality. Like almost all of the winery’s wines, this one also ferments spontaneously and then ages for 15 months on the fine lees in large, neutral oak barrels. It is bottled without filtration.

Colour

Brilliant lemon yellow with green reflections

Nose

The Morillon from Muschelkalk has a pure, puristic, and clear aroma. Lemon balm, sorrel, and lemon thyme flow from the glass. Delicate hints of its long contact with the lees are discernible. It is surrounded by a fine, smoky aura. Distinctly cold smoke. A touch of sea spray and a noticeable sea breeze support these impressions. It is strong in character, yet very approachable. A touch of fresh pineapple, but above all, nashi pear and lime characterize its fruit. Roasted coriander and fennel seeds give it depth.

Palate

It clearly transmits these clear, precise aromas to the palate. Clear and cool like a mountain stream. The aromas of the herbs and the spicy components are loudly represented. It’s racy, and the fruit is acidic to refreshing, yet with plenty of depth. It’s always built on the mineral framework that surrounds it. A salty touch adds a lot of punch at the end. It’s reminiscent of salt marshes and the proximity to the sea. Its very successful phenolic structure provides density and a compact appearance. Completely weightless.
