Appius<br /><br />2013<br /><br />Also the IV. The fourth edition of APPIUS, Hans Terzer's dream wine, remains true to the principle of its creator: 'to give the best expression to the respective vintage<br />through selection and targeted vinification of excellent grape lots': 2013 was characterised by a relatively late harvest, which brought us fully ripe grapes with very pithy<br />acidity, beautiful fruit and intense aromatics. The Cuvee with a main share of Chardonnay, is combined with shares of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc. The<br />result: a multi-layered complex nose with exotic fruit notes such as: Pineapple, papaya, passion fruit, but also hints of Williams pear and apple as well as slightly floral<br />notes. Dense and creamy on the palate with mineral acidity and a never-ending finish. A finesse-rich, elegant, but nevertheless very complex white wine in keeping with the<br />vintage, which promises extraordinary drinking pleasure even after many years.<br /><br />Eye: bright, clear straw yellow with green reflections.<br />Nose: complex scents / aromas of pineapple, papaya, passion fruit.<br />Taste: mineral, complex, immensely long finish<br /><br />Varietal description: Chardonnay (55%), Sauvignon (25%), Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc<br />Growing region: Site: selected vineyards in Eppan<br />Exposure: south-east / south-west<br />Soils: Calcareous gravel or moraine debris soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot<br />Vine age: 25 to 35 years<br />Harvest: end of September - beginning of October<br />Vinification: Fermentation, malolactic fermentation and ageing in barriques.

<br /><br />The name 'Caliz' is derived from the Latin terms Calix (calyx) and Calx (limestone). The Chardonnay Caliz grows exclusively on light gravel soils with a high dolomite-lime<br />content.<br /><br />The yield has been reduced to 70 hl per hectare of vineyard. The delicate bouquet is reminiscent of ripe pineapple, baby bananas and lime peel. The characteristic<br />Mediterranean fruitiness is complemented by a taut acidity structure from selected Chardonnay lots from higher altitude vineyards. The wine gains in complexity and<br />consistency through longer ageing on the fine lees in large wooden barrels. The large day/night temperature differences give the wine additional spice, and the finish of the<br />Caliz is salty and long.<br /><br />Grape variety: Chardonnay<br />Production zone: 250-500 m a.s.l., south-east, clay-sand and gravel soils, rich in dolomite<br />Vinification: Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel followed by ageing on the fine lees in large oak barrels.<br />Alcohol: 13.5 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.2 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 2,1 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 70 hl<br />Optimum drinking maturity: 1-4 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />

This grape variety most likely originates from Germany and was introduced to South Tyrol around 1900; today it is mainly cultivated in the Eisack Valley. The Sylvaner grape<br />feels particularly at home in the not too high, airy and warm slopes of the central Valle Isarco. The shallow, gravelly, weathered soils give the wine its incomparable delicacy<br />and elegance, which, although reminiscent of the wines of the same name on the other side of the Alps, unmistakably reflects the peculiarity of the Valle Isarco.<br /><br /><br />Vintage: 2021<br />Grape variety: Sylvaner<br />Growing altitude: 520 - 850 m<br />Soil: mineral-rich, gravelly diorite and quartz phyllite weathered soils<br />Vinification: gentle processing and pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing on fine yeast in stainless steel tanks, no malolactic fermentation<br /><br /><br />Colour: light lemon yellow<br />Taste: dry, aromatic, pleasantly fresh with a balanced body<br />Aroma: delicate, typical of the variety, fruity, of peach, apple, apricot<br /><br />Analytical values:<br />Alcohol content 13.50 % vol.<br />Residual sugar 2.3 g/l<br />Total acidity 6.4 g/l<br />
