The base wine of Isaras Brut is produced two typical Eisack Valley grape varieties: Müller Thurgau and Sylvaner. The Charmat method is used for the second fermentation; hence the primary aromas and the freshness can be preserved.
One of South Tyrolߦs oldest and most typical grape varietals, Gewürztraminer is highly aromatic. Of high quality, Gewürztraminer has distinct aromas of spices (especially cloves), roses and litchi. Its colour is straw yellow with hues of gold. Gewürztraminer has got a light acidity, but still manages to show great longevity. Ours is an excellent companion to food, especially Asian and spicy food as well as our typical South Tyrolean Speck.
Only ten hectares of Moscato rosa exist in Alto Adige. The grapevine is highly demanding. Much manual labor is necessary in the vineyard. Its blossom is female and is not self-pollinating. This often leads to poor fruit set and extremely low yield. The tiny, partially seedless berries contain breathtaking concentrations of aromas reminiscent of dried rose petals, candied strawberries and oriental spices. During its long, courageous period of skin contact, USHAS develops a spicy outline of tannins which melds harmoniously with the aromas of rose hips, cinnamon and orange peel. Extra-sweet finish with invigorating acidity. USHAS: the rare one.
Bright straw-yellow with a green shimmer. Semi-aromatic, pronounced, ripe fruit aromas reminiscent to apricot and peach, floral notes. Medium bodied, elegant, lively and dry.
This is a special white wine cuvèe with an intense aroma and palette. The aroma reminds one of dried berries, exotic fruit, honey and is supported by wood. When drunk we find a versatility between minerals and body and continuing structure.
The Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer is characterised by sumptuous fruit. Deep golden yellow in colour with green reflexes, on the nose it is reminiscent of ripe apricot and peach intermingled with exotic fruits such as lychee, mango and passion fruit. The fruit characteristics follow through on the palate; full-bodied, luscious but dry, the opulence cut by vibrant, firm acidity finishing elegant, dry and aromatic.
The Pinot Grigio is a fullbodied white wine which is full of extracts. It has a straw yellow colour, it smells flowery, the taste is pleasantly soft. Once it has ripened, you can taste hints of walnuts and honey.
Color: Straw yellow, Nose: Delicate with tones of vanilla, almonds and honey, Taste: Savory, mineral, dry and balanced, with good acidity. Food pairing: Excellent with appetizers, pasta dishes, cheese, fish, shellfish and white meats
In the nose it reminds of fresh apple, a fruity Pinot Blanc, but also of white peach. In the drink it is fine fruity and has a nice minerality and freshness, in the finish it reminds of citrus. This wine is named after the daughter of the house, Eva.
The grapes are harvested by hand later than the other Riesling plots. Afterwards they are carefully processed and the wine is stored in large acacia barrels for 10 months on the fine yeast. This is followed by another 24 months in bottles before sale.
