The wine region of S&uumldsteiermark

Austrian jewel of aromatic whites (southern Styria): signature Sauvignon Blanc as king of whites (~20% of 2,800 ha) — vibrant and crunchy with notes of green apple, gooseberry, elderflower, nettle, grapefruit and a touch of exotic fruit, tense acidity and chalky minerality. Lively Welschriesling, full Morillon (Chardonnay), floral Muscat among whites. Typical Schilcher rosé. DAC, Illyrian climate, shelly limestone and clay, steep slopes.

The wine region of Steirerland

Austrian Styria, the country's southernmost region around Graz down to the Slovenian border, vineyards on steep slopes up to 700 m, temperate southern climate. Signature Sauvignon Blanc as white king: lively and precise with notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, elderflower and a mineral touch — mountain benchmark. Tense Welschriesling (green apple, citrus), ample Morillon (Chardonnay), floral Muskateller. Rustic Schilcher rosé from Blauer Wildbacher.

The word of the wine: Aging on lees

Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
