Tramin Stoan

Tramin Stoan

Wine Description

The name of this exotic Alto Adige blend refers to the stony soil in which the grapes are grown, which in local German dialect is referred to as "stoan." This aromatic white wine is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer grapes which are blended together and fermented in large oak barrels before being refined an additional seven months before bottling.

Acclaim
“The Cantina Tramin 2021 Alto Adige Stoan is beautifully executed blend of 65% Chardonnay, 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer. Despite that small percentage, that last grape leaves its mark on the bouquet, with tropical flowers and hibiscus. The wine ages in large oak cask for 11 months. What works well here is the balance of the wine. Those floral notes are fleshed out with honey, golden apple and almond cookie. This is a real beauty.” — Wine Advocate, Apr 2024
“This light- to medium-bodied white is initially slim and compact, but it broadens on the palate, displaying a lovely range of patisserie pear, white peach and chive blossom flavors and a refreshing touch of grapefruit granita. Shows vibrant acidity and a subtle tang of salinity that are well-integrated, providing a mouthwatering frame as the flavors linger on the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2023
