The wine region of Steiermark
Austrian reference for lively, aromatic whites (75% of output). Star Sauvignon Blanc (qualitative banner of southern Styria): precise and taut with signature notes of gooseberry, grapefruit, nettle, cut grass and white pepper, an incisive finish. Fresh, lemony Welschriesling (the most planted), ample Morillon (Chardonnay), floral, muscat Muskateller. Spicy Schilcher rosé in West-Steiermark.
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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
