Weingut Tement
Muschelkalk Morillon
Südsteiermark, Styria, Austria
Similar to the Sauvingons, the Chardonnays from southern Styria have their unique style - neither French nor New World. These are very much mountain wines - more linear, cool, clear and with brilliant minerality. Thankfully, they still fly under the radar.
Quite restrained nose, very fresh, cool, mineral, with some fresh meadowherbs (lemon balm, dandelion), shy lemon peel, a hint of yellow stone fruit in the background.
On the palate this is focused, precise, tightly wound around a core of stony, salty minerality. Love the purity of the fruit and the juicy acidity. Very nice depth and great length. Highly drinkable, with nice complexity & elegance.

So often overlooked in North America there are some truly great wines that come from Austria. This light and lively Sauvignon Blanc with its clean citrus taste and light effervescent it’s almost as Mrs A said Champagne like. I agree only adding that on a hot day in the Canadian Rockies it’s soooo good. Cheers 🍷
