Weingut Tement is one of the leading wineries in Austria’s Südsteiermark (South Styria), known for producing precise, mineral-driven, and age-worthy white wines. Founded in 1959, this family-owned estate is now run by Manfred Tement together with his sons Armin and Stefan, who continue to develop a strong focus on terroir and sustainable viticulture.

The vineyards are located on steep hills along the Slovenian border, where a cool climate and diverse soils - particularly marl and limestone - contribute to the wines’ aromatic intensity and freshness. Tement is especially recognized for its Sauvignon Blanc, considered among the finest in Austria, while also producing Chardonnay (Morillon), Weißburgunder, and other varieties. A key vineyard site is Zieregg, one of the most prestigious in the region, known for its complex microclimate and outstanding aging potential.

The estate follows organic practices in the vineyards, combined with a low-intervention approach in the cellar, including spontaneous fermentation and extended lees aging for higher-tier wines. The style is defined by purity, precision, and pronounced minerality, with a clear balance between ripeness and freshness.

Weingut Tement is widely regarded as a benchmark producer of South Styria, consistently emphasizing site expression and long-term sustainability.
