Styria 2014

The participants of this wine trip to south-eastern Styria had a long journey by car. We stayed at Schloss Kapfenstein, which the organisers had come to appreciate during previous visits. The associated winery, Winkler-Hermaden, was of course visited, as were Neumeister, Tement and Polz. The highlight was certainly the Tement winery with its outstanding Sauvignon Blancs from the Zieregg vineyard, but the wines of the other wineries were excellent as well. Following the tasting at the Neumeister winery, we enjoyed a culinary highlight in the adjoining Saziani Stuben with the then exceptional talent at the stove, Harald Irka, and numerous magnum bottles from older vintages of the winery!
