Nestled in Zieregg, the Tement Winery overlooks the vineyards of southern Styria as well as those of neighbouring Slovenia.
Manfred Tement took over his father's winery here in 1976, turning it into one of Austria's most renowned wineries and establishing the region's international reputation. He set new standards for Styrian wines, particularly for Sauvignon Blanc, which the family has cultivated since 1959 on the now iconic Zieregg and Grassnitzberg Riff sites. In 2004, the family winery began to extend its vision of wine to the Slovenian side of its most renowned site, Zieregg. Since then, Domaine Ciringa has also belonged to the family. Today, the third generation, sons Armin and Stefan as well as daughter-in-law Monika, work with both parents.
The family legacy continues with each harvest, but the love of wine and the shared commitment to unconditional quality remain constant. The grapes are hand-picked at the optimum time, spontaneously fermented, and gently vinified in vineyard-specific barrels and tanks, before being aged in the cellar in small quantities and according to variety. The winery is committed to biodynamic agriculture and has been a member of the Demeter Association since 2022 and a member of the respekt BIODYN group.
However, the Tement family's commitment to quality is not limited to viticulture. The family also enriches the South Styrian region with two gastronomic businesses and the "Winzarei", where Heidi Tement shares the diversity and beauty of the stunning region. A truly memorable getaway is guaranteed here.
