KOLBENHOF
Gewürztraminer

The Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer shows an intense golden yellow colour with delicate greenish reflections in the glass. Aromas of ripe yellow fruits, especially peaches and
apricots, mingle with exotic scents of lychee, mango and passion fruit. On the palate, these fruity impressions continue, while the wine still has a fine acidity that never
makes it seem too lush despite its concentration. A Gewürztraminer that can convince with aromatic length.This Gewürztraminer is a selection from the best vineyards of
our estate Kolbenhof in Söll / Tramin. Thanks to the special microclimate, the ideal orientation and the age of its vines, the Kolbenhof estate is one of the great cru sites for
South Tyrolean Gewürztraminer. Only the classification 'Vigna' guarantees the origin of a site wine in South Tyrol.

VINIFICATIONAND RIPENESS: after delivery, the grapes are lightly crushed and the must is left in contact with the skins for a few hours to bring out the fruitiness of the

matures for another 8 months on the fine lees. The fine yeast is stirred weekly (battonage).
