Since 1986, the Gewürztraminer has been one of the founding wines of the legendary Sanct Valentin range – the premium collection with which cellar master Hans Terzer once set a new benchmark for South Tyrolean premium wines. From carefully selected vineyards in the municipality of Eppan, where the grape variety finds ideal conditions on calcareous gravel at altitudes of between 450 and 600 metres, the winery selects only the very best grapes for this wine. What sets it apart, alongside its aromatic intensity, is its remarkable longevity – a quality that distinguishes it from many other Gewürztraminers and promises a magnificent drinking experience even after years of bottle ageing. The grapes are hand-harvested with rigorous selection. A short maceration is followed by gentle pressing, before temperature-controlled fermentation begins. The wine is aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks.

A brilliant golden-yellow colour in the glass. The bouquet unfolds opulently: rose petals and jasmine mingle with exotic fruit aromas of lychee, maracuja and passion fruit. Asian spice notes such as cinnamon, nutmeg and clove lend the aroma a certain oriental charm. On the palate, the wine is powerful and complex, with remarkable body and perfectly integrated acidity, which lends it freshness and structure. The long, expressive finish confirms the class of this wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"A perfumed wine with aromas of rosewater, soap, rosebuds, apricots and pear candy. Light-bodied, refreshing, polished and almost oily in texture. No bitterness in the finish." James Suckling
