The origins of the Pinot Bianco grapes
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 Pinot Bianco grape originates from the Bolzano region. In this mountainous region, the temperature differences between day and night are significant, resulting in aromatic and distinctively powerful wines. This Tiefenbrunner Pinot Bianco represents the pinnacle of the region's offerings. It is made using grapes from two vineyards. Grapes from the river valley near the village of Magreid give the wine fullness and power. Thanks to the grapes from the hills near Kurtatsch, up to an altitude of 350 meters, the wine acquires freshness and tension. These vineyards also have a high lime content, contributing to a beautiful mineral character. This results in a wine with many facets and exceptional complexity.
After the careful harvest, it's time for fermentation. Large oak barrels are used, allowing the wine to "breathe," so to speak. This makes the wine richer and fuller. However, seventy percent is aged in stainless steel, as freshness is essential for this exquisite wine. The result is a delightful glass of classy Pinot Bianco.
What does the Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Anna Weissburgunder Pinot Bianco taste like?
The aroma offers a rich bouquet of peach, lime, citrus, and a touch of mint and spice. The taste is exquisite, rich and rounded with a beautiful bouquet of white fruit, lovely acidity, and above all, juicy! This Tiefenbrunner Weissburgunder has a slightly bitter finish that's truly delightful. Half of the wine is aged in oak barrels, making this Weissburgunder even more special!
