Pinot Grigio from South Tyrol – this is in a different league to many of the pleasing mass-produced wines from the Veneto. At Tiefenbrunner, the grapes come from selected hillside vineyards south of Margreid and in Kurtatsch, at an altitude of 220 to 400 metres, facing south to south-east. Calcareous soils and the typical South Tyrolean interplay of warm days and cool Alpine nights give the wine its characterful minerality. Ageing in large wooden barrels on the fine lees gives this Pinot Gris its special texture – round and elegant at the same time, with a creamy finish without masking the fruit.

A light yellow colour with sand-coloured reflections in the glass. The bouquet reveals floral notes, herbs and ripe fruit: pear, peach and a hint of melon. Dry and full-bodied on the palate, with a harmonious body and lasting length. Pinot Grigio that shows what the grape variety can do when it is taken seriously – with white meat, fish dishes or simply on its own as an aperitif. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright silver-grey with delicate straw-yellow reflections. Initially characterised by reduction on the nose, needs some time in the glass, dried herbs, yellow peach, some banana. Great race and salinity on the palate, accessible, with fine texture, drinks very well, great Pinot Grigio!" Falstaff

"Roasted flavours, white pepper and cloves add a lot of interest to the stone and citrus fruit. It is full-bodied and explosive in flavour, structured with phenols and bright acidity. Lots of energy." James Suckling
