Nussbaumer

Gewurztraminer & Gewurztraminer-based Blends

This Alto Adige classic is made from 100% single-vineyard Gewürztraminer, grown in the highly esteemed Nussbaumer plot. This privileged vineyard site is bathed in maritime breezes from Lago di Garda and sits at a higher elevation which results in a longer growing season. After harvesting in multiple passes to capture the optimal ripeness of each bunch, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness and purity.

Tasting Notes

This Gewürztraminer embodies all the characteristics of the varietal: an intense, bright lemon-yellow color, aromas of stone fruits, fragrant rose petals, exotic spices, ripe tropical fruits, and lychee, as well as flavors of stone and tropical fruits with honeyed, floral, and spicy notes. Above all, the wine's layers are particularly evident on the rich, long finish.

Food Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, the wine is perfect with seafood, particularly Asian-influenced fish dishes. On its own, Nussbaumer is a wine of meditation, to accompany  an unforgettable moment with good friends.

POINTS
“One of the best wines in the range, the 2012 Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer fleshes out beautifully in the glass. Sweet spices, honey, mango, wild flowers and tropical fruits inform a powerful, intense Gewürztraminer bursting with personality.”

POINTS
“The 2012 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer is a fragrant and graceful expression that is redolent of tropical fruit, jasmine, honey and almond blossom. The bouquet hits just the right level of intensity that leaves a lasting impression, but that is not overblown. The mouthfeel is soft and caressing with an impressive degree of richness and texture. This wine should develop further over the next five years.”
Wine Advocate

POINTS
“As fresh and clear as spring water, this has a zesty flavor of prickly-pear juice that falls in line with the green onion hints of reduction. While tightly wound, it’s supple underneath, where scents of roses and cream predict the direction of the wine’s development

POINTS
“Intense aromas of white and yellow roses and tropical fruit dominate the nose on this full-bodied wine. The rich, round palate is loaded with ripe tropical fruit, apricot, yellow peach, honey and candied ginger alongside the warmth of alcohol.”
Wine Enthusiast
Tre Bicchieri 2014
Gambero Rosso
“Bright/deep yellow with golden tints; heavenly aromas of lychee, grapefruit, yellow roses, honeysuckle, Anjou pear and lilacs. Medium-full with excellent concentration. Rich mid-palate, beautiful complexity. Great persistence and beautiful typicity. Classic wine!”
learnitalianwines
“Fleshy and flashy, slightly sweet, unctuous, heady.”
Chicago Tribune
“From one of the region’s oldest and most au courant co-ops (since 1889). If Walch’s Gewurz was the Clash, this is the Smiths. Subtle and perfumed, a bit sweet in its pear flesh, full of warm spice and a juicy quality.”
San Francisco Chronicle
