Tramin Unterebner
Wine Description
Not your average Pinot Grigio! Made from 100% single-vineyard Pinot Grigio from the Unterebner plot. The grapes for this wine are rigorously selected. 40% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barriques for six to seven months, and 60% is refined in large oak casks. Unterebner is incredibly rich, refined and elegant.
