**Styria** (Steiermark) is a wine region in the green, hilly southeast of Austria, close to the Slovenian border, celebrated above all for crisp, aromatic white wines. **Wines & grapes** — Sauvignon Blanc is the star, joined by Welschriesling, Morillon (the local name for Chardonnay), Weissburgunder and Muskateller. The western part is also known for Schilcher, a sharp rosé made from the Blauer Wildbacher grape. **Character** — Steep slopes, a mild but variable climate and diverse soils give whites of bright acidity, clarity and vivid fruit and herb aromatics. The wines are typically dry, lively and food-friendly, prized for their freshness rather than power.
