The interest group of wineries in Styria (Austria) emerged as the successor to the "Steirische Klassik-Winzer" group founded in 1986, which coined the term "Steirische Klassik" for fresh and fruity white wines made from typical Styrian grape varieties from 1993 onwards. The name STK® is protected for the member wineries Frauwallner Walter, Lackner-Tinnacher, Maitz Wolfgang, Neumeister, Polz Erich & Walter, Sabathi Erwin, Sabathi Hannes, Sattlerhof, Tement Manfred, Weingut Gross, Winkler-Hermaden and Wohlmuth Gerhard.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
