Cantina Terlan Lunare Gewürztraminer

The Lunare is Cantina Terlan's answer to the question of what Gewürztraminer can do when it is consistently thought through to the end: aromatically charged, vinified dry, with real bite on the finish.

Cantina Terlan is one of South Tyrol's most renowned cooperatives — founded in 1893, today known for white wines with extraordinary aging potential. The Lunare represents the pinnacle of the Gewürztraminer program: the grapes come from the best sites around Terlan, where the porphyry soil provides structure and minerality.

In the glass, rose, lychee, and orange peel open up — the typical aroma profile of the variety, but here with a clear line instead of heaviness. 50% aged in tonneaux (500 l), 50% in stainless steel tanks, ten months of aging on the fine lees: this explains the creamy texture and the long, slightly spicy finish with a fresh bitterness in the finish. Not a wine that forces itself on you — rather one that opens up.
