100% Gewürztraminer
This wine grows in Missian in the municipality of Eppan. The loamy, limestone-rich soil supplies the vines with an abundance of minerals. The fully ripe grapes were harvested very gently. After a drying period of over four months, the berries shriveled into raisins, greatly concentrating all their components. Through a gentle and extended pressing process, a very sweet must with the consistency of honey is obtained. During the subsequent fermentation, which stretches over several months, only part of the sugar is fermented, so the wine retains its natural residual sweetness. A wine with great potential and excellent aging capacity.
