    Gewürztraminer is one of the aromatic icons of South Tyrol, and Franz Haas interprets this demanding grape variety with the precision of a perfectionist. The vines thrive on Guyot vines between 350 and 650 metres above sea level, where skeletal clay soils facing south-west create ideal conditions. These medium altitudes preserve the balance between aromatic opulence and fresh structure – this is crucial for a Gewürztraminer that does not suffocate in overripe heaviness. After a short maceration period, the must ferments at low, controlled temperatures in stainless steel. Six months of ageing on the fine lees follow, with the yeast being stirred weekly – an effort that gives the wine a creamy texture and additional complexity. This patient yeast work clearly distinguishes Franz Haas' interpretation from simpler Gewürztraminer wines, which are bottled after just a few months.

    Intense golden yellow in colour in the glass. The bouquet reveals the classic aromatic spectrum of the grape variety: lychee meets orange peel, cloves mingle with nutmeg and rose petals. The wine needs some time in the glass to reveal its full spectrum – patience that pays off. On the palate, it is full and stimulating, characterised by a lively structure and freshness. The long finish ends with that typical, slightly bitter note that sets Gewürztraminer apart from sweet arbitrariness. Several months of ageing in the bottle before drinking is recommended – this wine develops and rewards the wait. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Strong, shiny golden yellow with a beautiful lustre. Clearly orange blossom and candied fruit on the elegant nose, followed by rose water and floral elements. Very pleasant on the palate with a melting texture, medium palate pressure, retronasal light herbal note, slightly salty final." Falstaff

    "A fragrant white with aromas of rose petals, melon, citrus blossom and lychees. It is full-bodied, tropical and floral, oily in texture but not overdone and with excellent balance. Long and flavourful." James Suckling
