Description: The Gewürztraminer grape obtains those beguiling aromas from the depth of the red loamy soil, inducing one to baroque descriptions: dewdrop-covered peonies, acacia honey, caramelized orange peel, mangoes, lychees and lavender. Gewürztraminer would “respire” too much acid at lower sites – on these exposed terraces, which have been covered with dry stone walls for centuries, the muscular wine takes on a racy acidity and spiciness. From the colorful mishmash of rocks that forms the ancient dry-stone walls, one can actually see what Gewürztraminer Brenntal communicates to the palate about its soil: a complex interplay of minerals that emerges as a hearty, juicy finish with the increasing maturity of the wine. Brenntal's aging potential, in fact, is quite impressive. For this reason, it is offered only as a RISERVA.

Producer: Kurtatsch Winery Vineyards on breathtakingly steep slopes from 220-900m a.s.l. - such a large difference in altitude within one municipality is unique in Europe. The low elevations are among the warmest in Alto Adige and are perfect for important red wines. On the high-altitude sites above the main village of Kurtatsch, the white varieties find ideal conditions. The wide array of elevations and soil types dictates the philosophy of the province’s southernmost cooperative: to produce distinctive wines that reflect their growing site, their terroir, in the best way possible. A young team, since 2014 led by the winery’s president, Andreas Kofler, has oriented the winery towards sustainable management. Thanks to the 190 small-structured family farms that cultivate 190 hectares of vineyards, the best grape material for each individual location can be selected. This and the precise vinification of the individual vineyard sites create distinctive and unmistakable wines which truly reflect their place of origin. The result: fresh, mineral white wines from high locations and long-lasting red wines from warm locations.
