Gewurztraminer Meran

Gewurztraminer Meran is a wine produced with Gewurztraminer grapes grown in the vineyards of the municipalities of Lagundo, Tirolo, Labers and Lana at an altitude of about 450-500m above sea level. The altitude and the perfect exposure guarantee these vineyards the ideal conditions for the production of grapes of the highest quality. The Gewurztraminer grapes are manually harvested around the beginning of the month of September and taken to the winery for a skin contact process that lasts for about 12 hours. After this phase the must absorbed most of the aromatic compounds present in large quantities in the skins of the Gewurztraminer grapes then the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in steel and is performed at low temperature to make the yeasts enhance the aromatic potential and the Gewurztraminer grapes. The wine Gewurztraminer Meran is then filtered and bottled after 6 months of aging after the harvest.
