Vintage 2021

A late harvest and lovely, stable weather at the crush characterized Alto Adige’s 2021 vintage. Thus the grapes could be left to ripen ideally, and thanks to the high temperature differentials between day and night, a great deal of aroma could form. The result is an extraordinary 2021 white wine vintage. (Südtirol Wein)

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.
