A spicy and charismatic iteration of Alto Adige’s signature grape variety which exudes classic aromas of lychee, rose, and peppery spice. The heat-retaining soils of Erste & Neue vineyards allow the grapes to reach full ripeness even in cool years, resulting in a classically styled and refreshing Gewüztraminer.
Late-harvest grapes are destemmed and cold macerated for 12 hours. Then the grapes are pressed before a natural clarification period. Then, fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 18-20 degrees Celsius. The wine is aged for three months on its fine lees in stainless steel.
Erste+Neue has held the FAIR’N GREEN international seal for sustainable viticulture since 2018. This certification expands beyone organic farming practices to include environmental protection, natural viticulture, the promotion of biodiversity and the protection of natural resources. In addition, all FAIR’N GREEN participating wineries commit to fair pay and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
