Tiefenbrunner Winery has dedicated itself to quality in all its wines, producing wines typical of the grape and the vineyard. Christophe Tiefenbrunner began in 1991 and has significantly modernized the vineyards and perfected the winemaking process. The wines are sourced from grapes grown in twenty hectares of their own vineyards and from grapes from other producers. The emphasis is primarily on white wine, at seventy percent. The remainder is red. This is quite unusual for the Alto Adige region, where most winemakers emphasize red wine production. White, however, remains an excellent choice for the future. Moreover, the mountain slopes are very suitable for growing white grapes.
Chardonnay grapes are increasingly being planted in Alto Adige. This grape produces wines with a mild and fresh character. Early picking is crucial to preserve the acidity. The wine ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of twenty degrees Celsius, followed by four months of aging on its lees in concrete vats. The wine is then bottled and ready for sale.
The aroma offers a rich bouquet of apricots, peaches, and a hint of citrus and vanilla. The palate is mild, and this Tiefenbrunner Chardonnay has a rich, oily texture that's delightful! Beautiful aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla, and light wood. A touch of citrus also provides perfect balance, making it exceptionally mouth-filling and powerful.
