Exil

Gewürztraminer

GLIMPSES OF AN EXOTIC WORLD
Literary reminiscences of spice bazaars swept with warm breezes birthed by far-off sea-gazing cliffs. A wild urge for an imagined world, a place waiting to be explored by the curious mind of a Marco Polo redux.

VINIFICATION
The wine undergoes a 12-hour cold maceration on the skins, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged for five months on fine lees, also in stainless steel tanks.

LOCATION / SOIL
The Höfl unterm Stein farm is located in Sella, above the village Tramin. Located at an elevation of 1,650 feet, the sandy-limestone soils yield firm-structured wines with superb depth yet at the same time a vivid level of acidity.

TASTING NOTES
The wine has an intense yellow color with fine golden reflections. It impresses with a complex aroma of cloves, lychee and rose petals. It is extremely concentrated and structured on the palate, reminiscent of ripe fruit with Mediterranean notes and has a long finish.
