VARIETY: 100 % GEWÜRZTRAMINER
PRODUCTION AREA: Selected vineyards in Tramin, Egna and Margrè (main towns of Alto Adige Gewürztraminer production)
VINEYARDS: The Gewürztraminer grapes develop a high sugar content and are normally picked at the end of September - beginning of October in small bins (to prevent damages before the grapes are crushed and pressed).
SOIL PROPERTIES: Sandy - medium-deep clay soils
VINIFICATION: After a long Skin-contact period (12-24 h) at cold temperatures (4°-6°C) the grapes were pressed softly, decanted and finally all single vineyards are fermented separately (as all our withe wines) in Stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to retain the classic aromatic qualities.
TASTING NOTES: Straw yellow in color. Tipical fruity and aromatic Traminer scent with a fragrance of intense spicy, floreal and smoked notes. The palate texture is rich and full with a harmonious after-tast. This powerful wine is paticulary enjoyable as an aperitive or with lobster, langoustine and grilled fish. It is also excellent to enjoy on its own on special occasions.
SERVING TEMP.: 10°-12°C
