Südsteiermark Morillon "Muschelkalk" 2017 - Tement

Morillon is the traditional Styrian name for Chardonnay, and Muschelkalk refers to the shell limestone soil of the vineyard where these vines grow. Weingut Tement, one of the reference estates of Südsteiermark in southern Austria, crafts from it a restrained, mineral Chardonnay, quite different from the richer Burgundian style.

Expect lemon, green pear and hazelnut with a clear chalky note and no heavy oak. The 2017 vintage is already well developed and shows the complexity that bottle age brings to this cuvée.

Serve at 10–12 °C with baked fish, white meat or mushroom dishes.
