Tiefenbrunner Gewürztraminer “Turmhof” DOC

​

“Origin of quality and character.”
This guiding principle of the Tiefenbrunner Castel Turmhof Estate Winery is both a philosophy and the basis for its viticultural practice in harmony with nature, and is reflected in both the cultivation and protection of the vines.
When new vines are planted, the optimal combination of location and varietal is sought. The carefully selected vine stocks are no longer planted strictly in the traditional pergola system, but usually trained on wire frames regardless of the location.
In the last few years, however, the old pergola system has been re- introduced to the steep rock slopes in a slightly altered form. The open pergola offers the vine an ideal balance between sun and shade, which contributes to the development of particularly good grape aroma.

Golden yellow. Intense smoky bacon, peach and flowers on the captivating nose. Similarly opulent on the palate, with more mango, grapefruit and lichee fruit than floral flavors showing. This huge, almost decadent wine finishes rich and long, with vibrant acidity that keeps it light on its feet and greatly increases the precision of its rich flavors. Outstanding Italian gewurztraminer for those who enjoy the richer-styled versions of the grape. - Vinous (2010 vintage)
