After blending and bottling, the wine matured in the bottle for at least another 4 months. The total maturation period is thus at least 15 months.

"Funkelndes, leuchtendes Strohgelb. In der Nase nach Pampelmuse, Feuerstein, dezentes, elegantes Holz, von elegantem Ausdruck. Am Gaumen mit sattem, kernigem Schmelz, breitet sich schön kompakt über die Zunge aus, mit rassigem Zug, endet im Finale betont salzig, sehr straff und klar."

"(2021) Another absolutely lovely wine Cantina Tramin, this an oak cask-fermented blend of 65% Chardonnay with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc and Gewürztraminer, coming stony limestone and clay soils, it's name meaning 'stone' in local dialect. It is sweetly perfumed, refined and accented by floral and creamy top and bottom notes, a lovely taut but ripe fruit juiciness. In the mouth the oak fermentation rounds the wine beautifully, but those bright and quite vivacious fruit characters and the salts and citrus acid structure of these wines is very nicely balanced, making this so easy to drink, but with precision too."

"Light straw yellow. Restrained nose, fine herbal spice, also floral. On the palate crisp, racy acidity, very lively, compact and powerful, cool fruit, spreads richly. Will be in top form in a few months."

"È impressionante la delicata progressione sensoriale che combina i fiori bianchi di gelsomino, tiglio ed acacia alle note fruttate di pesche bianche, albicocche e frutto della passione. Di corpo pieno è setoso al palato nella struttura armonica e bilanciata sempre luminoso senza mai essere pesante. Il finale è teso e mostra una solida propensione all'allungo incisivo. Il miglior Stoan di sempre. Un blend di Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer e Pinot Bianco. Bevi ora o invecchia."

Druckvoller und zugleich ausreichend balancierter Stil mit gewisser Rasse und sehr klarer wenn auch noch verhaltener Frucht, ein Hauch Mandarine und gelber Pfirsich. Enorme Länge mit kraftvollem auch etwas samtigem Abgang. Braucht noch Zeit. Unbedingt vor dem Genuss karaffieren.
