Tramin Stoan

Stoan Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

The name of this exotic Alto Adige blend refers to the stony soil in which the grapes are grown, which in local dialect is referred to as "stoan." This aromatic white wine is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer grapes which are blended together and fermented in large oak barrels before being refined an additional seven months before bottling.

Acclaim
“An impeccable blend of 60% Chardonnay, 22% Sauvignon, 11% Pinot Bianco and 7% Gewürztraminer, the 2012 Alto Adige Stoan shows memorable characteristics. The aromatic grapes make their mark on the bouquet with honeysuckle, tropical fruit, lime and papaya. The Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco components add impressions of depth and persistency. The wine drinks beautifully right now but could hold five more years.”
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2014
“Freshly cut flowers, light honey, pears and sweet spices meld together in Tramin's 2012, a gorgeous, Chardonnay-based blend with tons of near-term potential. Aromatic varieties make up about 30% of the blend and mark the wine's balance to a significant degree. This is a gorgeous wine from Tramin.”
— Antonio Galloni, Mar 2014
