Tramin Stoan

Tramin Stoan

Wine Description

The name of this exotic Alto Adige blend refers to the stony soil in which the grapes are grown, which in local German 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
“A carefully measured blend of 65% Chardonnay, 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer, the Cantina Tramin 2020 Alto Adige Stoan hits the mark. This 60,000-bottle release is beautifully balanced. In addition to the creaminess of the Chardonnay and the slightly more lifted bouquet shaped by the two aromatic grapes (the Sauvignon Blanc and the Gewürztraminer), the wine feels dry, elegant and mineral driven. Underripe pear and white fruit add pretty tartness and considerable tension to this medium-bodied white. Salty notes last long on the finish.”
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
“A fresh and fragrant white, with delicate tarragon and white pepper aromatics accenting the crunchy pear, tangerine and stony mineral character. Medium-bodied, with sleek acidity creating a lightly mouthwatering impression on the spiced finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Jul 2022
