Pinot Noir is a grape variety that seeks altitude. It finds it in South Tyrol – and Tiefenbrunner has selected the highest and coolest Pinot Noir sites in the entire portfolio for the Turmhof: Völser Aicha at 600 to 980 metres, on clayey sandy soil over grey porphyry, exposed to the south. Graun at 700 to 940 metres, calcareous-loamy dolomite soil. Penon, Hofstatt and Rain at 400 to 650 metres, calcareous dolomite soils. Mazon, Pinzon and Glen at 400 to 550 metres, sandy loam soil on dolomite rock. Four soil profiles, one wine. These altitudes require Pinot Noir to do what it does best: ripen slowly, build up structure, intensify flavours. Ageing in barriques and large wooden barrels gives the wine depth and elegance.

Ruby red with a garnet-red shimmer. Blackberries, raspberries and cherries on the nose – subtle, fresh, inviting. Soft and full-bodied on the palate, with youthful vigour and race, balanced and elegant on the finish. A South Tyrolean Pinot Noir that shows its origins like no other. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lush red cherries on the nose with fresh roses and a leafy touch. Light-bodied if not watery with subtle extraction. Vinous style." James Suckling

"Forward fruits bring their summer abundance with red plums and cherries leading pure pleasure. Yet restraint follows close behind, bright acidity drawing clean lines through all that generosity. Time in the glass lets earth and savory notes surface, showing this wine's deeper intentions." Wine Enthusiast
