Tramin Nussbaumer

Wine Description

Few realize that Alto Adige is the spiritual home of Gewürztraminer (which translates as “spice carrier” for its spicy, exotic notes) and it has been a hallmark offering at Tramin since it was founded one hundred and twenty years ago. Today, the grapes are sourced from vineyards in Montan and Tramin, where this grape is known to produce wines of particularly high caliber.

Acclaim
“The 2021 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer is a very perfumed wine with rose water, Persian spice, incense and exotic cardamom. Your senses are hyper stimulated thanks to the abundant perfumes of this wine, its heady pithiness and waxy end notes. Your food pairing possibilities include foie gras, salty snacks or poached pear” — Wine Advocate, Apr 2024
“Fragrant with jasmine and lime blossom notes, this creamy white is light-bodied and fresh, with lively acidity framing flavors of baked peach, lemon oil, mandarin orange peel and fresh thyme.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2023
