About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the Höfl unterm Stein farm in Sella, a hamlet above Tramin, at 500 m. Calcareous, clay-rich soils give the wine firm structure and depth while preserving vivid, clearly defined acidity. The vines are trained to Guyot, are 15–25 years old and yield 50 hl/ha.
Grapes
Sauvignon, Riesling and Incrocio Manzoni.
Vinification
Riesling and Incrocio Manzoni ferment in stainless-steel tanks. Sauvignon ferments partly in stainless steel and partly in large oak barrels. After maturation, the components are assembled and bottled.
Ageing
Six months on the fine lees.
Technical data
Alcohol: 13.5%. Acidity: 7.1 g/l. Residual sugar: 2.5 g/l. Ageing potential: 6–8 years.
Tasting profile
Bright yellow with greenish-golden reflections. Ripe peach, pineapple, passion fruit and a touch of gooseberry shape the aromatic profile. The palate is vibrant and precise, with juicy acidity, a fine mineral texture and a persistent citrus-led finish.
