Gewürztraminer

This straw-yellow Gewürztraminer, classically matured as a dry white wine, smells of rose, lychee, cinnamon and clove. On the palate it captivates with aromatic-spicy fullness and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

This Gewürztraminer is now one of the most sought-after wines in South Tyrol. From the heart of its historic growing area, it is typical of the variety, tasty and elegant despite its fullness. SUPERIORE.DE

Flawless and dynamic Gewürztraminer: strong golden yellow, delicately smoky, fine orange note, rose oil, perfect varietal characteristics. Powerful, mineral and persistent on the palate, rose petals in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense and clear bouquet, spicy and scented of roses. On the palate it has beautiful rich and aromatic fruit, but also sparkling acidity, which gives the wine tension. SUPERIORE.DE

"High perfumed with some apricot to the almond and smoke undertones. Rose buds. Medium to full body and creamy texture with some oily sensibility on the palate." James Suckling

"The Cantina Andriano (Kellerei Andrian) 2019 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer shows fragrant tones of star jasmine, summer peach and sweet almond blossom. As the wine opens in the glass, you also get some licorice and aniseed. It offers a mid-weight approach with some distant sweetness that is carefully folded into the wine's plush, mid-weight texture. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and ages on the lees for a brief six months." Robert Parker

The warm sites around Tramin give this pretty Traminer aromatico substance, breadth and a certain sweetness, while the cooler and higher sites in the Valle Isarco valley give it freshness, finesse and a fine aromatic structure. Clear straw yellow in colour, with a very aromatic bouquet of ripe mirabelle plum, apricot and fine exotic spices. In the drink it is juicy and long lasting, with fine minerality and a dry, well-proportioned finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Spices and almond paste with some white-pepper character. Medium-bodied, dry and layered with plenty of fruit. Light cloves and rose soap at the end." James Suckling

Bright golden yellow, intensive, multilayered fragrance, clearly of lychee and grapefruit. At the palate nice juicy fruit, first playful, then full of spices. Very fine, fresh and not too heavy Gewürztraminer. SUPERIORE.DE

"The bouquet on the 2019 Gewürztraminer Tradition is remarkably fresh and floral, yet not leaning too much on the exoticism that the variety has a tendency to show. Instead I’m finding notes of white peach and kiwi, hints of lemony citrus and spring flowers. It coats the palate with silky richness, perfectly balanced by zesty acids, as sweet spice and ripe peach comes forward. The finish is long and textural, seeming to slowly melt away, leaving a hint of minty herbs and vanilla bean." Vinous

"The 2019 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Tradition offers a pretty, off-gold color with fragrant tones of honeysuckle, star jasmine and tropical fruit. There are heavier, glossy aromas as well that remind me of new rubber boots, saffron and even a touch of cumin. This is a beautifully rich, mid-weight expression of the fragrant Gewürztraminer grape, with some distant stickiness and sweetness." Robert Parker

"Aromas of flint, dried apples and some cooked pears follow through to a medium body with cooked-apple and pear flavors. It’s fruity and delicious on the finish." James Suckling

Straw yellow colour and intense, multi-facetted fruit scent of honeydew melon and summer flowers. A lot of substance on the palate, complex and of great aromatic depth with good structure and length. SUPERIORE.DE

Gewürztraminer from the Kleinstein farm of the Cantina Bolzano is a nutty-scented wine with complex aromas of ripe fruit, dried flowers and a hint of rosewood. Its taste is reminiscent of honeydew melon and mountain herbs with a slight hint of citrus. A texture with a good grip, lively acidity, fine minerality and a slightly spicy sweetness add up to a highly balanced pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

The history of the sophisticated Gewürztraminer goes back to the early Middle Ages. The autochthonous grape variety thrives best on airy slopes between 250 and 450 m on clay and sandy soils with plenty of sunlight. And then the wine can be as convincing as this one: straw yellow with pale green reflexes, with a distinct bouquet of roses, some clove and vanilla and an independent character on the palate. A Gewürztraminer with support in the body, with a lot of elegance and harmony and a very well-balanced finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, bright golden yellow. Cool nose, still slightly reductive, after wet stone, delicate flower. On the palate, full-bodied and with a lot of enamel, shows a certain minerality, dry course with a powerful fruitiness, still very young, must still be left to relax." Falstaff

Dry warmth during the day and refreshing cooling at night - ideal conditions for a Gewürztraminer, which at the Falkenstein Winery appears slimmer and fresher than is otherwise known from South Tyrol. Brilliant yellow. In the bouquet ripe, but never exuberant aromas of dried fruit, honey, some rose scent. Medium-weight on the palate and, due to its relatively low residual sweetness, extremely drinkable. The long fermentation on the natural yeasts ensures a balanced and slender appearance.

Pale golden yellow, distinctive bouquet of lychee and ripe mango, accompanied by aromas of cloves and sage. On the palate fine and dry, shows playful and juicy, long final. SUPERIORE.DE
