Vintage 2023

Great challenges, great wines - challenging weather brings out powerful reds and fruity whites. The 2023 vintage seems to corroborate one of Alto Adige’s wine legends: years of great challenges are years of great wines. Out in the vineyards, 2023 was a year of major challenges, but winemakers expect strong reds with rich fruit flavors and intense colors as well as fresh and even fruitier whites than past vintages.(Cons. Alto Adige Wine)

Curiosity

This PIWI grape variety is a cross between Seyval Blanc and Zähringer. Seyval Blanc is a French hybrid variety; Zähringer is an old cross between Traminer and Riesling.
