Praepositus · Gewürztraminer DOC 2021

  The Praepositus Gewürztraminer from the Neustift monastery in South Tyrol presents itself in the glass in a bright golden yellow color that immediately catches the eye. Its bouquet is intense and complex, characterized by exotic fruits such as lychee and peach, accompanied by notes of rose petals and a hint of spices. On the palate, the wine shows a remarkable harmony between sweetness and fresh acidity, which gives it liveliness, while the soft, velvety texture makes it a smooth drinking pleasure. The mineral nuances and fine spice underscore the characteristic elegance of this Gewürztraminer.

A special feature of this wine is its origin in the high-altitude vineyards of the Eisack Valley, which offer a cool climate with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions promote the slow ripening of the grapes and the development of complex aromas. The Gewürztraminer grape variety has a long tradition in South Tyrol, and the winemakers at Neustift Abbey combine historical viticultural knowledge with modern cellar craftsmanship to create a product of exceptional finesse. Thus, Praepositus Gewürztraminer combines its Alpine origin, the historical significance of the grape variety, and the careful work of the winery to create a wine of unique expressiveness. - Gerardo [TS10/22]
