The Kalk & Kreide Sauvignon Blanc is Weingut Tement's signature wine. We’d like to see the amount of character this wine has on all human beings. Characterizing our idea of Southern Styria, our region. Refreshing citrus notes, local yellow fruit, elder flower, and black currants. Mineral and straight forward. Makes you long for the next sip.

Weingut Tement Description

This organic Gutswein belongs to the most important wines of our family winery. It is a unique terroir mix of 55 Sauvignon blanc plots, mainly grown on coralline limestone soil. This creates an incomparable and unique wine with deep minerality.

After natural fermentation Sauvignon Blanc “Kalk & Kreide” gently expanded on the lees with maturation time between 6-12 months in stainless steel tanks. Bottled unfiltered.

Wine Advocate: 92 Points

From 18- to 58-year-old vines on coralline limestone and loamy, calcareous marls, the just-bottled 2024 Kalk & Kreide Sauvignon Blanc is Tement's iconic Sauvignon from South Styria. Aged on the fine lees in stainless steel and large oak casks for six months, the first release of the monthly bottled wine opens with a sur lie nose of fresh and tonic lemon fruits and Williams pears intertwined with saline notes of crushed limestone. Medium-bodied, round and juicy on the palate, this is a savory, fresh and salivating, light and pure yet tensioned and always tonic Sauvignon classic with texture and a serious, age-worthy structure. After the rain week from September 9 to 14, the grapes were picked the second half of September with no botrytis at all thanks to the cool temperatures. This Sauvignon makes up 25% of the total volume of the domaine (which translates to 100,000–130,000 bottles per year). It sells for 20 euros ex-cellar. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2025. Anticipated Maturity: 2025-2040
