Süd-Oststeiermark is Styria's warmer wine area and is also associated with the name Vulkanland. The warmth gives its wines more strength than those from other Styrian zones, while cooler nights help them stay fresh. Traminer is especially important here, offering an aromatic alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.

Sauvignon Blanc in Südsteiermark, Traminer in the warmer Vulkanland area, and high-acid Schilcher in Weststeiermark show how much the wines change within it.
- Südsteiermark7 producersSüdsteiermark is Styria's Sauvignon Blanc country, with steep, humid hills and aromatic, high-acid wines. Styles range from fresh and fragrant to more weighty, and vineyards sit between 320 and 550 metres.
- WeststeiermarkNo producers listed yetWeststeiermark is the home of Schilcher, Styria's high-acid pink wine from Blauer Wildbacher. This narrow band along the Alpine foothills also makes sparkling Schilcher, and its wines can age.
