Discover the grape variety: Impératriz
A table grape with long bunches and golden berries with thin skin and juicy flesh, delivering a pleasant sweet flavour. Early-ripening. Very rarely vinified. Now rare, surviving in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections. A witness to French table-grape heritage, it is among the ancient varieties preserved for their patrimonial interest. A French white table grape, once cultivated for fresh consumption.

The wine region of Südsteiermark
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
