Acclaim
“Closed in an elegant screw-cap bottle, the Tiefenbrunner 2020 Alto Adige Weissburgunder Pinot Blanc Anna puts on a very classic performance for a grape that tends to be neutral on the nose but full of dimension and beautiful definition on the palate. Crispy pear, quince and gorgeous salinity flip over to a very firm and compact mouthfeel. I give this accessible and well-priced 17,000-bottle release a heartfelt recommendation.”
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
“Aromas of stone fruit, oak and hazelnut take shape in the glass. On the elegant, creamy palate, fresh acidity accompanies ripe pear, white peach and fennel seed before an almond finish.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2022
