About this wine

The Müller Thurgau grape, a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royal, develops its unique character at the higher-elevation hamlet of Graun at over 800 m a.s.

l.. Graun has one of the highest levels of sun intensity in Alto Adige and exhibits massive day/night temperature swings. These conditions result in an original Müller Thurgau with distinctive floral, herbal and fruit aromas of white peach and yellow plums). The bracing, peppermint-fresh acidity is preserved through ageing in stainless steel. Slender minerality gives the wine additional contours.
GRAUN: the surprising one.
