"We follow in the footsteps of great Alsatian Gewürztraminers and thus breathe new, South Tyrolean life into the venerable tradition of semi-dry wines." Christof Tiefenbrunner

Ruby red Pinot Noir with garnet red shimmer. Fine fruity bouquet of wild berries and cherries. An elegant red, well-proportioned and never overloaded, but with a clear identity and elegant character. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich sparkling ruby red with black-red accents. Pronounced aroma of heart cherries and ripe wild berries, a hint of white pepper and mocha on the nose. Taut and juicy, well-integrated tannin, balanced use of wood, ripe nuances, coherent, lively finish." Falstaff
"I love the interplay of delicately smoky oak and black cherry on the nose of this Sub-Alpine pinot noir. With some aeration, a freshly sliced red-beet note develops. Although the gentle tannins are slightly sappy, this fits very well with the medium-bodied, lively palate. Quite a dry, crisp finish that needs some time to harmonize further." James Suckling
"The Tiefenbrunner 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Linticlarus is a beautiful wine with a bit of spice and dried fruit, iron ore and blue flower, all woven together with a tight and seamless stitch. The wine plays forward over the palate with increasing intensity and balance. This is an elegant wine, and it's impossible not to be excited by these quality results with Pinot Noir from the far north of Italy. This expression concludes with length and a freshness that can be counted in minutes." Wine Advocate

“Feldmarschall von Fenner” Grappa Müller Thurgau
This grappa is distilled from the best marcs of the Müller Thurgau "Feldmarschall von Fenner". The diverse aroma spectrum of this grape is very authentically reflected in the bouquet. This very restrained and elegant grappa impresses with a very delicate and varietal-typical bouquet as well as with a smooth body. SUPERIORE.DE

South Tyrol is different. With the Tiefenbrunners anyway. No one else has three hectares of vineyards at 1,000 metres above sea level. No one else grows Müller-Thurgau at such altitudes. No one else has such a Müller-Thurgau, which is often mistaken for Riesling in blind tastings. And no one else names such a dream wine, which is awarded annually worldwide, after a field marshal of the Austro-Hungarian K & K army.
One could probably go on for a while with "No one else..." or at least with "hardly anyone". Because there is a lot that is unique here. From the vineyards, which range from 250 m above sea level up to 1,000 m and are divided among three neighbouring villages: Entiklar, Kurtatsch and Margreid (Niclara, Cortaccia e Magrè) and which, due to their respective location, soil composition and microclimate, also result in the logical wine lines of the Tiefenbrunner family. There is no vineyard that does not have a massive rock towering at its end.
At lower altitudes on the right bank of the Adige, loamy soils dominate, alluvial soil of former glaciers, with a variety of rocks that the rivers Eisack and Adige have washed out of the mountains into the South Tyrolean lowlands over the centuries. In the medium-high area already rocky subsoil, partly volcanic, calcareous, granite and weathered dolomite with fertile mixed soil overlay and mild climate, for which South Tyrol is known, but with strong cooling at night by the wind from the nearby Dolomites and Alps, which characterises this clear freshness and fruit of the wines of South Tyrol.
In the high, significantly cooler sites, there is often only an earth layer of less than one metre above the rock of marble, porphyry, granite, lime and dolomite, which is why the yields are often ridiculously low, but a wonderful minerality brings finesse to the wines.
"Nature sets the pace for us. We adapt to it and dedicate a site to each variety where it can develop in the best possible way," explains Christof, the fifth generation of the Tiefenbrunner family to run the winery in the magnificent Castell Turmhof with his wife Sabine since 2000. There are countless grape varieties in South Tyrol. In the unique Castell Turmhof winery, where even stone vaults from the 12th century are still used, Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Pinot blanc, Pinot gris, Vernatsch, Lagrein, Cabernet-Sauvignon, as well as the specialities Goldmuskateller and Rosenmuskateller ripen for a total of 29 labels in four wine lines.
Incidentally, the top wine of the house is named after Baron Franz Philipp Fenner von Fenneberg, who was actually born on the Fenneberg, where these unique grapes grow today.
"Distinctiveness and fashion trends are not compatible. That's why we press wines that can be clearly identified by their expression and character. They have their own clear personality: matured over time and shaped by origin and history." With this credo, which produces many quite different wine specialities, the family and the team around Christof perfectly continue the legacy of father Herbert Tiefenbrunner, one of the pioneers in South Tyrol's viticulture.
For almost half a century, 40 independent small winegrowers from about 45 ha have also been supplying the Tiefenbrunners with perfect grapes from "hand-worked vineyards". This is also something you hardly find any more. The fact that they generate their own electricity in a small hydroelectric power station, which their grandfather built around 1900, comes as little surprise. When an Italian journalist, exhausted after scrambling in the mountainous vineyards and overwhelmed by all these unique impressions, wrote his notes over fresh white wines and a board with bacon and cheese in the "snack station" (what an understatement) in the enchanting picturesque castle courtyard, he chose as his headline: "I am in paradise".

"Son Christof, a personality of rare discretion, is responsible for the elegant, delicate and never overdrawn wines, all of solid structure, expressive and always attentive to the characteristics of the grape varieties and different terroirs." Gambero Rosso
