Tiefenbrunner - Schlosskellerei TurmhofTURMHOF TARDUS Gewürztraminer

The Gewürztraminer grape being one of South Tyrol’s indigenous grape varieties is internationally well renown and subsequently represents an essential pillar of our local wine culture. By adopting a new approach for this late harvest TARDUS Gewürztraminer, we follow the footsteps of the highly appreciated Alsace Gewürztraminer while complementing their venerable tradition of half dry Gewürztraminer with our very own distinguished character. With for the variety a relatively low alcohol and higher residual sugar this Gewürztraminer is characterized by the variety typical opulent floral and fruity aromas, however refined by the pleasant and unexpected lightness and freshness in the mouth.
