Cantina Terlan Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer is at home in South Tyrol – and Cantina Terlan has been demonstrating for decades what this grape variety can achieve on volcanic porphyry soils. Not a wine for the faint of heart.

The cooperative in Terlan, founded in 1893, is one of Italy's most consistent white wine producers. Strict selection in the vineyard, controlled fermentation in stainless steel, six months of aging on the lees – the result is a Gewürztraminer that displays varietal character without heaviness.

Pale straw yellow in the glass. On the nose, lychee, rose petal, and blossom honey – the classic Gewürztraminer trio, presented here with a clear focus rather than overpowering aromas. Spicy and powerful on the palate, the aromatics assert themselves without being overpowering. The finish is long and lingers with a fresh quality.

Serving suggestion: Serve chilled at 10–12 °C. Pairs well with mild blue cheese, duck liver, Asian dishes with coconut milk, or as an accompaniment to goat cheese risotto. Best enjoyed now until 2027.
