About this wine
Character
Clear, precise and stony. The wine is distinctly saline, the acidity carries far, the texture stays taut and austere. Depth and complexity are already present, maturity not yet: this Sauvignon Blanc feels extremely youthful.
Terroir and origin
The Kår, colloquially "cold ridge," is grandmother Edina's original home vineyard on the Kiesener Berg. The 1.84 hectares sit at 377 to 440 metres above sea level, facing west-south, with a 30 to 35 percent slope and a cool microclimate. The soil: brown earth over coral limestone and blue calcareous marl, rich in calcium and magnesium.
Grape variety and vinification
Around 9,000 Sauvignon Blanc vines, 30 years old. The wine ferments spontaneously and matures in large used casks; restraint governs the cellar. In the glass, 2 grams of residual sugar meet 7.6 grams of acidity, at 13.0% vol.
On the palate
The nose opens with lime, preserved lemon and a touch of green pineapple, followed by oyster shell, stone, petrichor, white currants and herbs. On the palate the aromatics stay green: lime, shoots, zest, verbena, snow peas and mint, alongside nuances of yellow fruit. Salt and minerality carry the finish.
Food pairings
With oysters, ceviche and sashimi, as well as pan-fried pike-perch or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.
Special features
The Ried Zieregg is the heart of the Tement estate and is divided into four parcels: Kapelle, Kår, Steilriegel and the classic Zieregg. The Kår has the particularly lime-rich subsoil. The conversion to biodynamic farming began in 2017. Bottled in the half-bottle format of 375 ml.
