Gewürztraminer Campaner 2023 KALTERN 750ml

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 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.

Vintage: the winter months were predominantly sunny but decidedly cold. Temperatures rose 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 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 was completed on 26 October with a very good result.

Tasting notes:
- pale golden yellow
- intense nose, rose petals, lychee, cloves, cinnamon, some sage, complex and multilayered
- much volume on the palate, very clear and straightforward, tropical fruits in the long finish

Recommendation: goes very well with prawns and flavourful fish as well as with Asian cuisine. Also try it with thinly sliced pancetta!

Vinification: de-stemming of late harvested but perfectly healthy grapes; 12-hour cold maceration, pressing, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled
temperature of 18°C, ageing on fine lees for 5 months, filtration and bottling in March.

Vineyard: south-facing slope at 450 to 500m above sea level. Clayey marl on primary rock (porphyry, granite).
