Description

Product description for Tement Sauvignon Blanc “Kalk & Kreide” Südsteiermark DAC 2024 (bio)

The Kalk & Kreide Sauvignon Blanc is Tement’s calling card: This cuvée, made from a total of 55 parcels from 13 vineyards, is the estate’s signature wine. Representing approximately a quarter of the production volume, it always offers the best possible reflection of the vintage. Grown in sites such as Zieregg, Grassnitzberg, Sernau, Hochkittenberg, Eckberg, Wielitsch, Sulztal, and Ottenberg, each parcel is vinified separately. This conglomerate of vineyards, combined with the winemaker’s signature style, results in a wine year after year that optimally reflects the potential of Styrian Sauvignon Blanc. Selectively harvested by hand, the grapes are left on the skins for a while to extract aromas and provide the necessary grip before the must begins to ferment spontaneously. Matured 70% in steel and 30% in large wooden barrels, it always offers a joyful drinking experience, even in the “Ortswein” category, without any major reservations.

Color

Straw yellow with silver reflections.

Nose

The 2024 Kalk & Kreide from Tement once again sets a benchmark: The rich fruit isn’t exhausted in dazzling abundance, but shines through understatement. Reduced to the max, it reveals hints of citrus, ripe stone fruit, yellow apples, plump pears, and nectarines. Added to this are elderflowers and crushed oyster shells. Lightly vegetal notes of blackberry leaves or currant leaves give it a tart framing.

Palate

Juicy with enormous tension on the palate, it almost threatens to burst. Citrus, green apricots, and herbs like chervil and tarragon provide aromatic green, yet always ripe notes. The acidity sets the pace, the stature is vertical; It rushes across the palate at a brisk pace. A trendsetting regional wine without attitude, unparalleled.
