Nussbaumer Gewürztramin Reserve
NAME
Alto Adige DOC
Vintage description
After a dry winter and an initially cold March, above-average spring temperatures favored early budding and premature flowering. From mid-May to early June the weather was mostly rainy and humid. In the subsequent ripening phase, rainfall was normal, with few peaks of heat with concomitant short periods of drought. Throughout the summer the nights were characterized by a pleasant coolness. The harvest began at the beginning of September and until mid-October was repeatedly interrupted by single days of rain, fortunately alternating with prolonged periods of sunshine. The white wines are fresh, with an intense olfactory profile. Red wines, of great finesse and elegance, indicate great aging potential.
