Classification<br /><br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Growing region<br /><br />One third of the grapes grow in Girlan on the hills of Überetsch, at an altitude of 450 - 500 m above sea level, on vines that are 10 to 15 years old. Two thirds, on the other<br />hand, come from Kurtatsch in the Unterland. The combination of the growing soils, gravelly to clayey and rich in minerals, gives this wine a unique character.<br /><br />Vinification and ageing<br /><br />The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. After a short maceration and gentle whole bunch pressing, the must is clarified from the lees by natural<br />sedimentation. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Maturation for 8 months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees without<br />biological acid reduction.<br /><br />Wine portrait:<br />The intense as well as aromatic fragrance and its full character demand dishes with a strong taste.

Pinot Grigio Vigna 'Castel Ringberg' 2021<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />The Renaissance castle of the Vigna 'Castel Ringberg', built by the Habsburg dynasty in 1620, towers above Lake Kaltern and is surrounded by the vineyards of the single<br />vineyard site. A 'Vigna' is an additional designation of origin; the term stands for a precisely delineated and mapped vineyard. The vineyards of the Vigna 'Castel Ringberg',<br />which alternate between moderate and steep slopes, are located at a unique intersection of three different soils: in the west, the dolomite rock of the Mendel mountain ridge<br />accompanies the vineyards, while the steep slopes consist of 30,000-year-old gravel from the ice-age river Adige. In the southern and central parts, the larger areas consist<br />of loose limestone rubble, which aerates the vine roots well. In addition, the mildness of Lake Kaltern, coupled with strong afternoon southerly winds, allows for gentle,<br />natural cultivation with deliberately small-scale production. The microclimate and geological conditions at an ideal altitude of 330 to 400 metres above sea level offer optimal<br />conditions for wines of incomparable character.<br />'A strong, clear straw yellow characterises the Pinot Grigio Vigna 'Castel Ringberg'. A multi-layered, complex variety of aromas of fruits, especially ripe pears, some sage<br />and lime blossom as well as spicy notes characterise the bouquet. Structure and elegance, power and harmony dominate on the palate, combined with creamy richness<br />and density. A Pinot Grigio with a lot of character!'<br /><br />LESE 2021: we are looking forward to a vintage of outstanding quality, especially for our white wines! A dry and cool spring led to a late flowering of the vines, followed by a<br />warm and dry June. After a volatile midsummer, there was a surprising change in the weather in mid-August, which brought dream weather until the end of September and<br />created the very best conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest began in mid-September, about 10 days later than last year. Blue skies and lots of sunshine<br />as well as midsummer daytime temperatures and autumnally cool nights enabled the grapes to reach ideal sugar levels while retaining very good acidity. Accordingly, the<br />wines of the 2021 vintage show a markedly high quality.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: Soft pressing, static clarification. Part fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of about 20°C. Just under 15% of the must is fermented in<br />French oak barriques from Allier followed by malolactic fermentation. The cuvée takes place in spring.<br /><br />Grape variety: 100% Pinot Grigio<br />Alcohol: 13,50% Vol<br />Denomination: South Tyrol DOC<br />Residual sugar: 1,4 g/L<br />Total acidity: 5,8 g/L<br />Shelf life: 3-5 years<br />

<br />Hochkofler<br />Riesling<br /><br />South Tyrol - Alto Adige DOC<br /><br />Brought to South Tyrol in the 19th century by Archduke Johann of Austria, Riesling is one of the most refined and elegant white wines.

The demanding Gewürztraminer prefers warm, airy sites with deep, loamy soils. These conditions are found in the Brenntal vineyard in the north-west of the village of<br />Kurtatsch.<br /><br />The Gewürztraminer gets its multifaceted aromas from the red clay soils: lychee, roses, mango, caramelised orange peel and lavender. On the palate, the wine presents a<br />creamy texture and elegant acidity that balances the muscular body. The wine reaches its complexity after a longer ageing period in the cellar and in the bottle, which is<br />why the wine is only sold as a Riserva 2 years after the harvest. The ageing potential of up to 20 years is enormous.<br />Gewürztraminer BRENNTAL: the long-lived one.<br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Vinification: Cold maceration for 3.5 hours, temperature-controlled fermentation in steel tanks; ageing and fine yeast storage for 12 months in stainless steel and for 6<br />months in large oak barrels, minimum bottle ageing of 6 months.<br />Alcohol: 15.5 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.1 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 8,1 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 40 hl<br />Optimum age for drinking: 3-12 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />

Exilissi<br />Gewürztraminer Riserva<br /><br />THE SCENT OF DREAMS<br />A wine like liquid light. And yet the essence remains invisible to the eyes, revealing itself only to the nose and mouth: the beguiling scent of roses in the vineyard awakens<br />the secrets of summer from their slumber and lingers on the tongue with sweet spice.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />Late harvest of the fully ripe, partially dried grapes, 20-hour cold maceration, fermentation in wooden barrels, ten months of ageing on the fine lees in large wooden barrels.<br /><br />SITUATION / SOIL<br />Höfl unterm Stein in Söll near Tramin, is a south-eastern slope situated at 480 to 550 m above sea level. On strong, loamy chalky gravel soil, there are both pergola plants<br />that are over 30 years old and wire frames that are over 10 years old, which produce unique wines with an extremely low yield of 40hl/ha.<br /><br />VARIETY: Gewürztraminer<br />YIELD : 35 hl/ha<br />ALCOHOL : 15,0%<br />ACID: 4,4g/l<br />RESIDUAL SUGAR: 7,0g/l<br />

Campaner Gewürztraminer DOC 2021<br /><br />Origin: the name Gewürztraminer goes back to Tramin, the neighbouring village of Kaltern, where this variety was first mentioned in documents in the 14th century. Whether<br />the variety really originated in Tramin is questionable. The fact is that it has a very long tradition in South Tyrol and produces excellent wines.<br /><br />Vintage: the winter months were predominantly sunny but decidedly cold. Temperatures rose only hesitantly even in spring, slowing down the development phase of the<br />vines. However, a warm and sunny start to the summer made up for this. August and July were very varied, so the grape harvest started relatively late on 9 September. The<br />rainy September was a great organisational challenge for our winegrowers, but finally the harvest was completed on 26 October with a very good result.<br /><br />Tasting notes:<br />- pale golden yellow<br />- intense nose, rose petals, lychee, cloves, cinnamon, some sage, complex and multilayered<br />- much volume on the palate, very clear and straightforward, tropical fruits in the long finish<br /><br />Recommendation: goes very well with prawns and flavourful fish as well as with Asian cuisine. Also try it with thinly sliced pancetta!<br /><br />Vinification: de-stemming of late harvested but perfectly healthy grapes; 12-hour cold maceration, pressing, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled<br />temperature of 18°C, ageing on fine lees for 5 months, filtration and bottling in March.<br /><br />Vineyard: south-facing slope at 450 to 500m above sea level. Clayey marl on primary rock (porphyry, granite).<br /><br />Grape variety(ies): Gewürztraminer<br />Age of the vines: 10 - 25 years<br />Drinking temperature: 11 - 13 °C<br />Maturity: 2022 - 2027<br />Yield: 40 hl/ha<br />Method of cultivation: wire frame<br />Alcohol: 14,5<br />Residual sugar: 7,5 g/l<br />Acidity: 5,6 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />
