<br />'Our Sauvignon selection, which has been given a truly descriptive name, is as filigree as the fine quartz flecks in the volcanic porphyry rock of Terlan. Characteristic of the quartz are its fine texture and depth as well as a salty reverberation, which have in the meantime brought this noble white wine international renown.'<br />Rudi Kofler<br />Wine<br /><br />Region of Origin: South Tyrol - Italy<br />DOC area: South Tyrol Terlan<br />Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc<br />Orientation: South - Southwest<br />Slope: 10 - 40<br />Altitude: 300 - 550 m<br /><br />Vinification<br />Harvest and grape selection by hand; gentle whole bunch pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation of the lees; slow fermentation at controlled temperature and maturation for 9 months on the fine lees partly in large wooden barrels (50%) and partly in stainless steel tanks (50%); assemblage three months before bottling.<br /><br />Technical data<br />Alcohol content: 14,0 % vol.<br />Residual sugar: 2,7 g/l<br />Total acidity: 6,8 g/l<br /><br />Recommended with food<br />An exciting accompaniment to oysters, salmon tartare or cruditè of shellfish; also to green apple risotto with cross-roasted brook trout fillet, steamed langoustines or roast lamb in a herb crust with braised asparagus; mature goat's cheese.<br /><br />Character<br />Colour: Sparkling yellow-green<br />Nose: Enticingly exotic with a multi-layered fruit of mango, papaya, lime and red grapefruit but also herbal aromas reminiscent of lemongrass, lemon balm, mint and green tea, this Sauvignon presents itself in the glass.

JOSEPH GEWÜRZTRAMINER<br /><br />This Gewürztraminer presents itself as a wine of great individuality. Of an intensely bright straw-yellow colour, it impresses with its compactness and its unmistakable aroma with hints of dried flowers and rose petals, which steadily expand and condense in the glass.<br />On the tongue, it appears rich and substantial with a dense body, yet fresh and lively.<br />GT Josef<br />Hofstätter Classification<br /><br />Grape variety<br /><br />Gewürztraminer<br />Soil<br /><br />Loose, well-aerated and easily heated marl soils.<br />Vinification<br /><br />The grapes are lightly crushed after delivery, the must is left in contact with the skins for a few hours and then gently pressed.

Stoan is a unique wine that reflects the richness and potential of our terroir. A lively blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Blanc and Gewürztraminer, the brainchild of our winemaker.<br /><br /><br />Description of the vintage: After a dry winter and an initially cold March, above-average spring temperatures favoured early budding and early flowering. From mid-May to early June the weather was mainly rainy and wet. In the later maturation phase, rainfall was normal, with few heat peaks and concomitant short dry periods. Throughout the summer the nights were characterised by pleasant coolness. Harvesting began in early September and until mid-October was interrupted repeatedly by single days of rain, fortunately alternating with prolonged periods of sunshine. The white wines are fresh, with an intense olfactory profile. The red wines, with great finesse and elegance, indicate great ageing potential.<br />Grape variety: Chardonnay 65%, Sauvignon 20%, Pinot Blanc 10%, Gewürztraminer 5%.<br />Yield: 45 hl/ha<br />Altitude: from 400, more from 500 - 600 metres<br />Exposure: south-east 90%, south 10%.<br />Harvest: end of September - mid-October<br />Bottles produced: about 48,000, 760 magnums and some large sizes<br />Soil: calcareous gravel mixed with clay<br />Age of vines: 10 - 40 years<br />Climate: wide temperature range due to hot days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and cold nights with very fresh winds coming from the mountains<br /><br />Vinification: the grapes are harvested entirely by hand and placed in small containers that keep them intact; immediate pressing; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature (18°-20°) in wooden barrels (30-40 hl), in which malolactic fermentation also takes place; racking of the must by natural sedimentation.<br /><br />AGING: Refining in large wooden barrels (30-40 hl), always in contact with the yeasts until the end of August. After bottling, the wine is left in the bottle for a minimum of 3 months for further ageing, bringing the total ageing period to a minimum of 14 months.<br />to a minimum of 14 months.<br /><br />

<br />Nussbaumer<br />SELECTION<br /><br />Italy's most awarded Gewürztraminer epitomises the elegance and aromatics of this ancient grape variety.<br />' The only Gewürztraminers that can compete with those from Alsace are those from South Tyrol, and of those, Nussbaumer is the best.'<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Yield: 45 hl/ha<br />Altitude: 350 -550 m<br />Exposure: south-east 70%, south 30%.<br />Harvest: End of October<br />Soil: Calcareous gravel with clay soil, subsoil rocks of porphyry<br />Age of the vines: End of September - end of October<br />Climate: extreme interplay between sunny days dominated by the Mediterranean climate and night hours dominated by cold downdrafts from the surrounding mountains<br />Serving temperature: 12-14° C<br /><br />After a mild and rainy winter, a warm and pluvious March led to early budding. Apart from a few hot days in April, it was wet and cool until the end of June. A warm summer was followed by an autumn with frequent spells of rain, which delayed ripening. Overall, it was a challenging year in viticulture, which demanded a lot of work from the winegrowers. Thanks to the consistent implementation of our quality philosophy, the experience of our producers and the cooperation within the cooperative, grapes of remarkable quality were harvested, particularly with regard to the white grape varieties and Pinot Noirs. The white wines of the 2024 vintage are delicate and fresh. In the red wines, the elegance of the Pinot Noir is impressive.<br /><br />

Named for the Renaissance castle built there by Habsburgs<br />in 1620 and rising up from Lake Caldaro in alternating<br />moderate and steep slopes, the Vigna Castel Ringberg is a<br />crown jewel of the region and a monopole for Elena Walch,<br />from where many of her award-winning, mineral-driven<br />wines emanate. The term Vigna is an additional denomi-<br />nation of origin, recognizing a precisely demarcated and<br />cartographically recorded single vineyard. In addition to<br />variable altitudes from 330 to 400 meters above sea level,<br />Vigna Castel Ringberg also boasts a multiplicity of soils.<br />The higher perches, climbing into the Mendel ridge of the Dolomites, are of 30,000 year old glacial Adige<br />River gravel, while calcareous soils with morainic substrata join loose limestone in gentler lower zones. The<br />moderating influence of the lake and the strong afternoon drying southerly wind known as Ora also<br />contribute to the balanced, elegant character of the wines, from a host of native and international varieties.<br />A clear straw yellow characterizes the Pinot Grigio Vigna Castel Ringberg. A complex variety of fruits,<br />especially ripe pears and lime blossom, as well as spicy sage notes inform the bouquet. Structure and elegance,<br />power and harmony dominate the palate, combined with creamy fullness and density. A single vineyard Pinot<br />Grigio with a lot of character!<br />VINIFICATION<br />Gentle pressing, followed by static clarification. A part ferments in stainless steel tanks<br />under controlled temperature (20°C). 20% of the must ferments in French oak barrels<br />and barriques (Allier) followed by partial malolactic fermentation. The blending occurs<br />shortly before bottling in springtime the following year.<br />Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio<br /><br />

<br />VINIFICATION<br />Very carefully selected, fully ripe grapes get selected, picked in two harvests. Before pressing, the crushed berries are cold macerated for 6 hours, after which the juice is clarified by refrigeration and natural sedimentation. Fermentation is activated using selected yeasts and the temperature is controlled at 18°C. The young wine remains on its lees for several months.<br /><br />Variety: 100% Gewürztraminer<br /><br />
