Tramin Nussbaumer

Nussbaumer Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

This Alto Adige classic is made from 100% single-vineyard Gewürztraminer, grown in the highly esteemed Nussbaumer plot. This privileged vineyard site is bathed in maritime breezes from Lago di Garda and sits at a higher elevation which results in a longer growing season. After harvesting in multiple passes to capture the optimal ripeness of each bunch, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness and purity.

Acclaim
“One of the best wines in the range, the 2012 Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer fleshes out beautifully in the glass. Sweet spices, honey, mango, wild flowers and tropical fruits inform a powerful, intense Gewürztraminer bursting with personality.”
— Antonio Galloni, Mar 2014
“The 2012 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer is a fragrant and graceful expression that is redolent of tropical fruit, jasmine, honey and almond blossom. The bouquet hits just the right level of intensity that leaves a lasting impression, but that is not overblown. The mouthfeel is soft and caressing with an impressive degree of richness and texture. This wine should develop further over the next five years.”
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2014
