Nose

Intense aroma of yellow and white peach, ripe pineapple, apricots, lychee, and other exotic fruits, with a hint of black tea

On the palate, it is exceptionally lively, with pure fruit sweetness balanced by a juicy, invigorating acidity. Long-lasting on the finish. An exceptionally complex wine with a wonderful balance between crisp freshness and delicate sweetness.

The Trockenbeerenauslese is the essence of our Pinot Blanc. A wine that is hard to describe with words but needs no explanation.

Harvest

The long ripening period on the vine, extending deep into winter, is defining.

Winemaking

Maceration fermentation and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation in barrique with prolonged aging on fine lees in a cool cellar.

Appearance

Bright, sparkling amber color

Food Pairing

Pairs well with desserts such as apricot or apple strudel, milk chocolate mousse, crème brûlée, and flavorful cheese, or with a vegan American apple pie made with cinnamon roll dough, cranberries, and coconut.

Pinot Blanc from our oldest vine

KränzelhofAries Sauvignon Blanc

Wine Description: Straw yellow with brightening edges. Aromas of ripe tropical fruits and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it reveals a layered and complex yet delicate profile with flavors of white peach, green apple, and floral notes reminiscent of herbs. The wine’s minerality and vibrant acidity provide an elegant and easy-drinking flow. Vinification: Carefully timed hand harvesting, with portions undergoing maceration or whole-cluster pressing, followed by fermentation at 15°C in stainless steel tanks, and 30% fermented in wooden barrels. This is an exceptional and authentic expression of the variety. From Sauvignon vines now 10 years old at the estate, this wine has a unique character, excellent aging potential, and radiance. Pairing Suggestions: Pairs well with asparagus, shellfish, risotto, pasta dishes, and vegetable salads.

KränzelhofBaslan Vernatsch

Wine Description: Brilliant, vibrant cherry red with brightening edges. Aromas of raspberry, cherry, spices, fresh hay, and almond blossoms. On the palate, lovely notes of cherry, roasted almonds, spice, and pink pepper emerge. A long, powerful finish with velvety tannins. Vinification: Low-yield cultivation with careful, selective hand-harvesting done in stages. Maceration with partial stem inclusion, then refined for 7 months in used barrique barrels on the lees. An exceptional example of its variety in many respects. Pairing Suggestions: Pairs well with Vitello Tonnato, pasta dishes including those with fish or cheese, slightly chilled with tuna, and, of course, with prosciutto or Swiss chard rolls with buckwheat filling and a delicate paprika sauce.

KränzelhofTauris Lagrein

Wine Description: Ruby red with violet reflections. A powerful aroma of ripe cherries, black pepper, violets, blackcurrants, and licorice. Fruity on the palate, with spicy flavors and notes of ripe blackcurrant and cranberry. Velvety tannins, fullness, well-integrated acidity, and a lingering finish. Vinification: This Lagrein from Merano thrives on the south-facing slopes in Tscherms, where it benefits from excellent climatic conditions, resulting in exceptional fruitiness and spiciness. Carefully selected berries undergo a 10-day maceration fermentation, followed by 17 months of aging in used French oak barrels (second or third fill), with a small portion aged in new barrels. This rustic, indigenous variety enjoys great popularity. Pairing Suggestions: Pairs well with dark meats, whether braised or roasted, excellent with venison, and also pairs beautifully with flavorful hard cheeses.
