Details of the location

The vineyards are situated on south and east-facing slopes at an altitude of 350 to 450 meters above sea level. The soil consists of loamy limestone gravel, which retains heat and is well-drained.

From grape to wine

The grapes, harvested relatively late, are first destemmed. This is followed by a brief cold maceration, then pressing, and natural must clarification. Fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures of 18 to 20 °C. The wine is then aged for 3 months on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks.

The wine in the glass

The origin of this wine

The name Gewürztraminer goes back to the neighboring village of Kaltern Tramin, where this variety was first mentioned in documents in the 14th century. Whether the variety really originated in Tramin is debatable. The fact is that it has a very long tradition in Alto Adige and produces excellent wines.
