Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Blauburgunder
Wine Description
Looking out from the Turmhof Castle at the cascading fields of vineyards, one sees acres upon acres of white grapes. From these many vineyards come only a handful of reds. This Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) is harvested and vinified with care before being aged in both barriques and barrels.
