Tramin

Nussbaumer

A 100% single-vineyard Gewürztraminer from the Nussbaumer plot. Gewürztraminer is the most renowned white varietal from Alto Adige. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and purity, the wine is refined for ten months before release.

Tasting Notes

Intense yellow in color with golden tints, Nussbaumer offers textbook aromas of apricot, pineapple, bergamot and lychee, followed by elegant notes of rose petals, pink grapefruit, white pepper, hints of nutmeg and dried flowers. With its excellent concentration, rich, fruity texture and well-balanced acidity, this gorgeous wine lingers on the palate for minutes leaving an intense, unforgettable finish. It can be enjoyed young, but also handles several years of bottle aging quite well

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with equally weighty and flavorful dishes, such as mild curried chicken or savory couscous casseroles.
