This is Sauvignon Blanc grown on an ancient coral reef, and you can taste it. "Korallenkalk" means coral limestone, the fossilized reef bedrock beneath these Ehrenhausen vineyards, and it drives the wine's salty, crushed-stone character. Tement is one of Austria's great Sauvignon houses, and this is their restrained, terroir-driven side, worlds away from anything loud or grassy. Aged patiently in large oak and on its lees, it trades pungency for depth and salinity. If you want to taste what a place tastes like, start with a wine grown on a prehistoric sea.

"From 17- to 41-year-old vines on loamy coralline limestone soils and aged in large oak casks and tanks for 18 months, Tement's 2023 Ehrenhausen Korallenkalk is clear fresh and savory on the limestone-driven and saline nose that is also reminiscent of crushed rocks, salts and white-stone fruits and mango. Full-bodied, round and elegant on the palate, with fascinating mineral grip and tension as well as salts intertwined with lemon juice, this is already a remarkably terroir-driven and classy Tement Sauvignon. 12.5% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted at the domaine in Berghausen in April 2025." —Stephan Reinhardt
