The aromatic soul of South Tyrol. Gewürztraminer is considered the most typical of all South Tyrolean white wines – full-bodied and unmistakably aromatic. At Peter Zemmer, this grape variety grows on low-growing rootstock in the Guyot system, in the best vineyard sites on the valley floor around Kurtinig at 220–230 metres above sea level. The favourable location, ideal sunshine and good aeration of the grapes create ideal conditions for this demanding variety. After destemming, a six to eight-hour cold maceration follows, which transfers the valuable flavours from the skins into the must and intensifies the characteristic bouquet. Gentle pressing and subsequent fermentation at a controlled temperature of 19 °C in stainless steel preserve the varietal aromas in all their splendour.

Brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose literally explodes: rose petals, cloves and dried flowers mingle with aromas of lychee, ripe peach and a hint of nutmeg. Full-bodied and aromatic on the palate, rich and fresh at the same time, with fine, soft acidity and impressive length. A Gewürztraminer with a classic South Tyrolean character – the ideal accompaniment to strong starters, Asian cuisine, shellfish or simply as an opulent aperitif. SUPERIORE.DE
