Harvest

The exposed site of the single vineyard at 1.000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea-level with autumnal morning dew and high humidity provide ideal conditions for the development of prized noble rot ‘Botrytis cinerea’ which causes a natural concentration of the juice. The grapes are harvested mid to end of December before Christmas.

The gently pressing of the berries is followed by the fermentation which occurs in a small steel tank over a six-month period on the fine lees. The bottled wine matures for another five
years in the cellar.

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.
