<br />Appius 2017<br /><br />Through an extreme pre-selection of the grapes, combined with a careful maturation in the cellar and a successful assemblage, it was possible to achieve a true sensory<br />symphony despite the climatically adverse conditions of the 2017 vintage. The contribution of each individual grape variety does not emerge separately, but forms a powerful<br />symbiosis.<br /><br />Eye: brilliant colour with yellowish, slightly olive reflections.<br />Nose: Intense and complex bouquet of yellow flowers (broom and lime), mainly white flowers (hawthorn and orange blossom) and citrus notes of mandarin and grapefruit.<br />Rarely white currant and gooseberry.<br />Taste: Fine, elegant, almost velvety on the palate, carried by a crisp acidity and a mineral and spicy structure. Long lasting with a beautiful play of acidity.<br />Varietal description: chardonnay 54%, pinot grigio 24%, sauvignon blanc 12% and pinot blanc 10%.<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 />Age of vines: 25 to 35 years<br />Harvest: middle of September<br />Vinification: Fermentation, malolactic fermentation (except Sauvignon) and ageing in barriques. Assemblage after just under a year and further ageing on the fine lees for<br />three years in steel tanks.<br />Yield: 35 hl/ha<br /><br />Alcohol content: 14<br />Residual sugar: 2,4 gr/l<br />Acidity: 5,30 gr/l<br /><br />Ageing/potential: 10 years and more ...<br />Recommended consumption: Perfect companion to strong fish dishes, also fried. Excellent with our traditional 'Wienerschnitzel' or in combination with mushroom and<br />truffle specialities as well as wild fowl.<br />Excellent with creamy cheeses with rind or with mature cheeses.<br />

'The Kreuth Chardonnay impresses with its balanced acidity, creamy structure and elegant aroma play. Thanks to its complexity and mineral note, this powerful<br />Chardonnay from the Terlan DOC area has great longevity.'<br />Rudi Kofler<br /><br /><br />Wine:<br />Region of Origin: South Tyrol - Italy<br />DOC area: South Tyrol Terlaner<br />Variety: 100% Chardonnay<br />Yield: 56 hl/ha<br />Orientation: South - Southwest<br />Slope: 5 - 30<br />Altitude: 260 - 350 m<br /><br />Vinification:<br />Harvest and grape selection by hand; gentle pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation of the lees; slow fermentation at controlled temperature; partial<br />malolactic fermentation and maturation for 10 months on the fine lees partly in stainless steel tanks (50%) and partly in large wooden barrels (50%).<br /><br />Technical data:<br />Alcohol content: 14,0 % vol.<br />Residual sugar: 1,7 g/l<br />Total acidity: 6,0 g/l<br />Serving temperature: 12 - 14 °C<br />Recommended with: Vitello tonnato or marinated octopus; mixed antipasti and grilled vegetables; cheese dumplings or pasta aglio olio peperoncino (with garlic, olive oil and<br />peperoncino); grilled fish with fennel vegetables or crepes au gratin with radicchio filling; fresh tomino cheese.<br /><br />Character:<br />Colour: sparkling straw yellow<br />Nose: The bouquet is characterised by exotic fruit components, such as passion fruit, pineapple, star fruit and citrus aromas.

The demanding Gewürztraminer prefers warm, airy sites with deep, loamy soils. These conditions are found in the Brenntal vineyard in the north-west of the village of<br />Kurtatsch.<br /><br />The Gewürztraminer gets its multifaceted aromas from the red clay soils: lychee, roses, mango, caramelised orange peel and lavender. On the palate, the wine presents a<br />creamy texture and elegant acidity that balances the muscular body. The wine reaches its complexity after a longer ageing period in the cellar and in the bottle, which is<br />why the wine is only sold as a Riserva 2 years after the harvest. The ageing potential of up to 20 years is enormous.<br />Gewürztraminer BRENNTAL: the long-lived one.<br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Vinification: Cold maceration for 3.5 hours, temperature-controlled fermentation in steel tanks; ageing and fine yeast storage for 12 months in stainless steel and for 6<br />months in large oak barrels, minimum bottle ageing of 6 months.<br />Alcohol: 15.5 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.1 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 8,1 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 40 hl<br />Optimum age for drinking: 3-12 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />

Exilissi<br />Gewürztraminer Riserva<br /><br />THE SCENT OF DREAMS<br />A wine like liquid light.

Campaner Gewürztraminer DOC 2021<br /><br />Origin: the name Gewürztraminer goes back to Tramin, the neighbouring village of Kaltern, where this variety was first mentioned in documents in the 14th century. Whether<br />the variety really originated in Tramin is questionable. The fact is that it has a very long tradition in South Tyrol and produces excellent wines.<br /><br />Vintage: the winter months were predominantly sunny but decidedly cold. Temperatures rose only hesitantly even in spring, slowing down the development phase of the<br />vines. However, a warm and sunny start to the summer made up for this. August and July were very varied, so the grape harvest started relatively late on 9 September. The<br />rainy September was a great organisational challenge for our winegrowers, but finally the harvest was completed on 26 October with a very good result.<br /><br />Tasting notes:<br />- pale golden yellow<br />- intense nose, rose petals, lychee, cloves, cinnamon, some sage, complex and multilayered<br />- much volume on the palate, very clear and straightforward, tropical fruits in the long finish<br /><br />Recommendation: goes very well with prawns and flavourful fish as well as with Asian cuisine. Also try it with thinly sliced pancetta!<br /><br />Vinification: de-stemming of late harvested but perfectly healthy grapes; 12-hour cold maceration, pressing, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled<br />temperature of 18°C, ageing on fine lees for 5 months, filtration and bottling in March.<br /><br />Vineyard: south-facing slope at 450 to 500m above sea level. Clayey marl on primary rock (porphyry, granite).<br /><br />Grape variety(ies): Gewürztraminer<br />Age of the vines: 10 - 25 years<br />Drinking temperature: 11 - 13 °C<br />Maturity: 2022 - 2027<br />Yield: 40 hl/ha<br />Method of cultivation: wire frame<br />Alcohol: 14,5<br />Residual sugar: 7,5 g/l<br />Acidity: 5,6 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />

Gold Muscat DOC 2021<br /><br />Vintage: the 2021 viticultural year was demanding and challenging in many respects. The winter months were predominantly sunny but decidedly cold. Temperatures rose<br />only hesitantly even in spring, slowing down the development phase of the vines. However, a warm and sunny start to the summer made up for this. August and July were<br />very varied, so the grape harvest started relatively late on 9 September. The rainy September was a great organisational challenge for our winegrowers, but finally the harvest<br />was completed on 26 October with a very good result.<br /><br />Tasting notes:<br />- bright yellow<br />- intense aroma of nutmeg, ripe peach<br />- juicy, full-bodied, with a pithy acidity, well balanced by the pleasant sweetness of the fruit.<br /><br />Recommendation: enjoy this sweet dessert wine with doughnuts, strudel and cake.<br /><br />Vinification: harvest of ripe and healthy grapes, destemming, cold maceration of 12 hours, pressing, natural must clarification, fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18<br />°C, 3-month ageing on fine lees in stainless steel.<br /><br />Vineyard: south and east-facing sites at 300 to 450 m above sea level; loamy limestone gravel, heat-storing and water-permeable.<br /><br />Grape variety: Goldmuskateller<br />Age of the vines: 5 - 30 years<br />Drinking temperature: 8 - 10 °C<br />Maturity: 2022 - 2024<br />Yield: 70 hl/ha<br />Method of cultivation: pergola + wire frame<br />Alcohol: 12,5<br />Residual sugar: 45,0 g/l<br />Acidity: 6,4 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />

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. Assemblage after almost one year and further maturation on the fine lees for three years in steel<br />tanks.<br />Yield: 35 hl/ha<br /><br />Wine data:<br />Alcohol content: 14 %<br />Residual sugar: 3 gr/l<br />Acidity: 5,40 gr/l<br /><br />Drinking temperature: 8-10°.<br />Ageing/potential: 10 years and more<br />Recommended consumption: Appius 2013 is an excellent companion to strong fish dishes such as turbot or monkfish, to a spicy risotto with seafood, but also to wild fowl<br />or discreet veal dishes.<br />

Grape variety: 100% Müller Thurgau<br />Denomination of Origin: South Tyrol DOC<br />Altitude: 500 - 600 m above sea level<br />Orientation: east-southeast<br />Area: OBERN BERG Müller Thurgau is grown in our higher altitudes in the South Tyrolean lowlands. The soil consists of pure limestone gravel with a high humus content.<br />Climate: the Mediterranean climate with cool fall winds causes the longer vegetation period as well as the late harvest of the grapes in mid-October.<br />Vinification: the grapes are harvested by hand. Afterwards the clarified must ferments for about 3 weeks in steel tanks. The young wine matures for another 5 months on the<br />fine lees before bottling.<br />Colour: light straw yellow<br />Aroma: lychee, white-fleshed peach, fresh sage in the background<br />Taste: pleasantly spicy and crisp, enveloping acidity and floral finish<br />Serving suggestions: Grilled sea bass, 'Rafanata lucana' (horseradish omelette, a typical dish from Basilicata)<br />Serving temperature: 10-12 °C<br />Storage recommendations: Cool at 10-13 °C and min. 60% humidity<br />
