98 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Pale greenish yellow, silver reflections. Attractive yellow fruit, a hint of gunpowder, flint, yellow tropical fruit, multi-faceted bouquet. Taut, juicy, white stone fruit, fine extracted sweetness, elegant and long-lasting, already well-developed, delicate lime and ginger, a finesse-rich, light-footed wine with great length and certain ageing potential. (6/24/24)" 97 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Tement's 2021 Ried Zieregg Kapelle GSTK is deep, precise and elegant on the coolish and substantial nose that intermingles ripe black cassis aromas with iodine notes that represent the particular soils perfectly: heavy clay on coralline limestone. Full-bodied, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a generous yet uplifted and even delicate, refined and persistently saline Sauvignon Blanc with enormous savoriness and fine but remarkably expressive mineral acidity. Very tensioned and long on the palate, this is a giant in the making. 14% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. I tasted this several times between September 2024 and April 2025. Drink: 2026-2060. (6/26/25)"
97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Already, the striking nose of curry and wild thyme marks this as a very special sauvignon blanc. So concentrated but also incredibly elegant on the medium-bodied palate. Then comes the mind-blowingly intense, long finish in which chalk and limes are almost perfectly interwoven. A masterpiece that’s still very young. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Glass stopper. (9/9/24)"
