Gewürztraminer Spätlese Südtirol DOC 0,375 l 2016 - J. Hofstätter

The Gewürztraminer Spaetlese Alto Adige DOC by J. Hofstätter shines gold-coloured in the glass and immediately impresses with enormous intensity and density on the nose, with complex aromas reminiscent of exotic fruits, mango, papaya, hints of lychee and pineapple. On the palate, the rich play of aromas, the elegance and balance between acidity and sweetness of this late harvest from Tramin inspires. The finish impresses with its persistency and aromas.

Vinification of Gewürztraminer Spaetlese Alto Adige DOC by J.Hofstätter

The grapes grow in the vineyards of the Tenuta Hofstätter in Tramin on marl soils. They are harvested manually at the end of November, the overripe and particularly tasty grapes are placed in small boxes. In the wine cellar they are gently squeezed and then softly pressed. After natural sedimentation and clarification, the must ferments in small oak barrels, followed by 12 months of ageing in small wooden barrels and another 6 months in the bottle after bottling.
