- A captivating and intricate aroma featuring a delightful blend of tropical fruit, subtle notes of spice, and a distinct minerality complemented by the alluring fragrance of roses. Its velvety texture is perfectly balanced with a refreshing acidity, resulting in a gratifyingly long-lasting finish. Crafted by the esteemed winemaker Will Sturz, a nominee for 'Italian Winemaker of the Year' by the renowned Gambero Rosso, known for creating some of Italy's most exceptional white wines. The grapes underwent a gentle pressing upon their arrival at the winery. The fermentation occurred in meticulously controlled stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 21°C. The malolactic conversion was intentionally omitted to preserve the wine's fresh and lively character. The refinement process occurred in stainless steel vats before the wine was bottled.
Made by winemaker Will Sturz, who has been previously nominated 'Italian winemaker of the Year' by the prestigious Gambero Rosso and produces some of the best white wines in Italy. The grapes were gently pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 21°C. Malolactic conversion did not take place to retain the fresh and vibrant character of the wine. Refinement took place in stainless steel vats until bottled.
An intense and complex nose, with aromas of tropical fruit, notes of spice and a layer of minerality, accompanied by the characteristic scent of roses. Creamy with a balancing acidity and a deliciously long finish.

| Winery | This region owes its Italian name of "Alto-Adige" to the river Adige that flows through on its way to the Adriatic Sea. The sleepy village of Termeno or Tramin is thought to be the birthplace of the Traminer white grape variety, also known as Gewürztraminer. The climate is characterised by the extreme interplay of sunny days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and cool nights marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains. The vineyards comprise calcareous clay and gravelly soils; the clay is known for its cooling properties, while the gravel offers a free-draining soil for the vines. The vines yield 65hl/ha and are cultivated sustainably, without herbicides. Cantina Tramin was founded in 1898 and has 310 member winegrowers who follow its strict directives on cultivating the vines. The vineyards are an integral part of the enchanting and picturesque landscape of the Alto-Adige region of Northern Italy and cover 260 hectares on the sunny slopes of the region at altitudes ranging from 250 to 850 metres above sea level. In 2011, Cantina Tramin gained the "Double Stella" award. This is given to a winery for achieving the prestigious "3 Bicchieri" 20 times and is awarded by the Gambero Rosso. |
