An expression of the \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige denomination\u003c\/strong\u003e, it stands out for its dry style and harmonious structure. Made from Gewürztraminer grapes, it releases a deep bouquet with aromas of candied fruit and ripe grapes. The aroma is enriched with hints of honey, sage, \u003cstrong\u003erose petals\u003c\/strong\u003e and oriental spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, robust and boasts a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh aromatic persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a long, spicy finish, ideal for accompanying Asian dishes, lobster or foie gras pâté.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the \u003cstrong\u003ehillside vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e of Cortaccia and Niclara, in the province of Bolzano, tended by Tiefenbrunner. The vines benefit from a south-southwest exposure, growing at an altitude between 260 and 470 metres. The complexity of the sip is linked to the \u003cstrong\u003ecomposition of the soils\u003c\/strong\u003e: calcareous gravel from moraine sediments in Niclara and clay soil in Cortaccia. Trained using the pergola and Guyot methods, the plants offer balanced yields that concentrate the aromas, delivering in the glass the authentic precision of the \u003cstrong\u003eAlpine territory\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, the process aims to enhance the typicality of the grape variety. \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the integrity of the aromas and the varietal freshness of the Gewürztraminer. Afterwards, the wine undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eageing on fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for four months. This technique consolidates the structure and harmony, ensuring a \u003cstrong\u003eperfect balance of flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e without altering the dry profile. The result is a white wine of remarkable intensity, able to combine volume and finesse in a consistent and satisfying finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1848, the historic Tiefenbrunner Estate is now run by the fifth generation of the family. From this long tradition comes the \u003cstrong\u003eMerus Gewürztraminer 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e, a refined \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e from the sunny slopes between Cortaccia and Niclara. Situated at up to 470 metres above sea level, the vineyards yield grapes of rare intensity. Thanks to careful fermentation in steel and valuable \u003cstrong\u003ematuration on fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, this white wine reveals an intoxicating charm, capable of evolving beautifully in the bottle for a period of three to five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tiefenbrunner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47411830554795,"sku":"62211","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/tiefenbrunner-merus-gewurztraminer-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
