The demanding Gewürztraminer thrives in warm, airy sites with deep, clay-rich soils. Ideal conditions are found in the UGA Frauenrigl.
The term “Rigl” once referred to a plot of land. The name “Frauenrigl” recalls the women who were among the main landowners in this area over a century ago. The red clay soils give the Gewürztraminer its multifaceted aromatic character, with notes of lychee, rose, lavender and a wide variety of floral aromas. On the palate, the wine reveals a full-bodied texture, complemented by surprisingly fresh acidity. The wine develops its full complexity through extended maturation and is therefore released as a Riserva only two years after the harvest. FRAUENRIGL: the age-worthy one.
Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks; ageing on the fine lees for in stainless steel and concrete tanks, min. 6 months bottle ageing.
