Südsteiermark<br />

sive, complex, highly mineral and exhibit superb<br />

balance and elegance.<br />

In recent years, the family winery has extended<br />

its top site, the Zieregg, by planting more<br />

vines just over the border in neighbouring Slovenia.<br />

The microclimatic conditions in the<br />

“Ciringa” (Slovenian for Zieregg) comprise<br />

ideal preconditions for authentic, elegant,<br />

highly mineral Sauvignon Blanc of astounding<br />

longevity. To reflect the unique origins of this<br />

wine, it carries the name “Domaine Ciringa”.<br />

This expressive highly mineral Sauvignon<br />

Blanc has been marketed since 2009 under the<br />

name Fosilni Breg (Fossile Mountain). As of<br />

the 2015 vintage, the Tement winery has been<br />

undergoing conversion to certified organic<br />

cultivation.<br />

Brilliant yellow-green. Multifaceted aromas and flavours of<br />

honey-laced guava and Cape gooseberry mingle with<br />

smoky nuances, herbs, spice and minerals. Complex and<br />

deep, yet still incredibly refreshing. Perfect harmony and<br />

convincing length – a wine that is presently only missing<br />

one thing: the perfect drinking maturity. A milestone in the<br />

development of Austrian Sauvignon Blanc.<br />

Weiße Wand G STK 2015<br />

Pale green-yellow with silver highlights. Delicate smokyspicy<br />

components lend complexity to white tropical fruit<br />

and delicate nuances of mandarin zest. Concentrated, elegant<br />

fruit sweetness, ripe gooseberry and guava flavour an<br />

elegant structure. Salty notes and a lemony touch join in<br />

on the very long, persistent finish.<br />

96 Sauvignon Blanc Ried Zieregg G STK IZ<br />

Reserve 2012<br />

Deep yellow with gold highlights. Intense smoky notes<br />

reminiscent of bacon join nuances of dried fruit, rosemary<br />

and spice on the generously open nose. Tautly structured<br />

with tannins and refreshing acidity. The long, sweetly extracted<br />

finish features layers of nougat, intense spice,<br />

malt, and candied orange.<br />
