The Tement winery, located in Southern Styria near the border with Slovenia, primarily focuses on cultivating white grape varieties. 95% of its vineyards are planted with varieties such as Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Pinot Blanc, Morillon, and Traminer. The wines, grouped under the designation "Steirische Klassik," come from various vineyards and mature in stainless steel tanks. In addition to "Steirische Klassik," the winery also produces single-vineyard wines, each reflecting the characteristic influence of its specific growing site and aged in both large and small wooden barrels.

The Ried Grassnitzberg, Tement's first family-owned vineyard, is considered an outstanding example in the world of winemaking. Planted by founder Josef Tement himself in the 1950s, this vineyard offers a unique expression of the terroir. The old vines, rooted in this southeast-facing bowl-shaped depression, originate from an astonishing 16-million-year-old coral reef.

Tement Sauvignon Blanc Ried Grassnitzberg Riff is a single-varietal Sauvignon Blanc that embodies the highest craftsmanship. After natural spontaneous fermentation, the wine matures for 24 months on fine lees in large, old Styrian oak barrels, which lends it a special finesse and depth. The wine is then bottled unfiltered and sealed with a natural cork.

With an impressive aging potential from 2025 to 2045, this Sauvignon Blanc is perfectly suited for immediate enjoyment as well as long-term storage.
