Already on April 10, on the sunny sites<br />around the monastery, we saw the first shoots. Thanks to mild spring weather, there were<br />no problems with frost. During the summer the conditions were good as well, with normal<br />temperatures and average rainfall. There were no extreme weather event and so harvest<br />started about 10 days early on September 14th. Unfortunately, the autumn was a little bit<br />rainy and therefore the diurnal temperature shift was less extreme than usual. In order to<br />get healthy grapes, the harvest dates were brought forward and so harvest was already<br />completed by mid-October.<br />The wines of the 2020 vintage are delicate, fresh and fruity with moderate alcohol and an<br />appealing acidity. Similar to the 2019 vintage.<br />

The grape variety, which originated in Germany, has found an ideal terroir in South Tyrol. Riesling makes high demands on the site and prefers a cool but sunny climate.<br />This is exactly what the vineyards around Lake Montiggl and the neighbouring microzones offer, whose porphyry soils give the wine its special character. The Riesling<br />Fallwind impresses with its fruity notes and mineral acidity, which make it a top-class wine.<br /><br />GROWING AREA:<br />Vineyards around Lake Montiggl and in higher,<br />neighbouring areas (480-700m).<br />Exposure: south/southeast facing slope<br />Soils: Gravel and moraine soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot<br /><br />VINIFICATION:<br />Fermentation in steel tanks. Subsequent ageing on fine yeast<br />for a further five months.<br /><br />FOOD AND WINE PAIRING:<br />This all-rounder goes well with light fish dishes as well as with Asian<br />Asian cuisine and vegetable dishes. In spring with<br />Asparagus salad with ham roll filled with Bolzano sauce.<br />A pleasure also with goat cheese.<br /><br />ANALYTICAL DATA:<br />Alcohol content: 13,5%<br />Acidity: 6,35 gr/lt<br />Residual sugar: 5,7 gr/lt<br />DRINKING TEMPERATURE: 8-10°<br />

Vintage: the weather conditions make the 2019 viticultural year a challenge for our winegrowers. A relatively mild winter and early spring were followed by a wet and cool<br />April and May. After flowering, which did not occur until June, the weather situation turned around and it became hot and dry. Late summer delayed the ripening of the<br />grapes with some rainfall and below-average temperatures. Harvesting of the healthy grapes began in early September and continued until the end of October.<br />Tasting notes: bright yellow, fruity aroma of ripe peach, mango and coconut milk, full mouthfeel with lots of ripe fruit on the palate, juicy finish.<br /><br />Recommendation: try it as an aperitif, with light starters, summer salads, asparagus dishes, grilled fish or with mild sliced and fresh cheeses!<br /><br />Vinification: Whole cluster pressing of ripe and above all perfectly healthy grapes, 18-hour maceration, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled<br />temperature of 18 °C (approx. 50% spontaneous fermentation in large wooden barrels), 5-month ageing on the fine lees, filtration and bottling in March.<br /><br />Vineyard:Steep south/south-western slope at 700 m above sea level with sandy-loamy porphyry weathered soil.<br /><br />Grape variety: Kerner<br />Age of the vines: 10 - 30 years<br />Drinking temperature: 10 - 12 °C<br />Yield: 65 hl/ha<br />Method of cultivation: wire frame + pergola<br />Alcohol: 14,0 %<br />Residual sugar: 4,0 g/l<br />Acidity: 6,4 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />

Müller Thurgau originated from a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale and is named after its breeder, Prof. Hermann Müller, who came from Thurgau (Switzerland)<br />and carried out the extremely successful cross at the end of the 19th century in Geisenheim (Germany). In the Eisack Valley, this variety thrives mainly at higher altitudes<br />on warm sloping terraces with a very fine soil structure. The climate, which becomes harsher as the altitude increases, and above all the warm days and cool nights during<br />the ripening period, give Müller Thurgau the freshness and variety of aromas that make it so sought-after.<br /><br />Vintage: 2022<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 />Colour: greenish to straw yellow<br />Taste: fresh, tangy with a distinct varietal character, slightly aromatic, with a pleasant fullness<br />Aroma: intense, lightly reminiscent of nutmeg and elderflowers<br />
