Glimmer 2025 - 13,5% vol. Unterortl Castel Juval Winery

Description: 
Our white wine GLIMMER is made in accordance with the tradition of mixed grape varieties in the vineyard. The basis are mostly old, original as well as modern grape varieties. In our GLIMMER the old grape variety Johanniter is united with the variety Müller Thurgau, which gives the special something. The name of the wine is a reference to the primary rock varieties that we find in our vineyards. They also contain the beautiful mineral mica.  The wine has a fragrant smell like apple, pineapple, some citrus and rabarber, in the mouth rounded mineral, elegant and very stimulating. 

Grape variety: 
Müller Thurgau - Johanniter - South Tyrol white wine 

Production area: 
The grapes grow in the highest part of the "Reitel", "Plattacker" and "Himmelsleiter" vineyards at about 750-850 metres above sea level. The cooler nights in this area ensure that refined aromas are formed in the ripe grapes and that the acidity is preserved. 

Vinification: 
In the cellar, we let the destemmed grape mash rest for a few hours before pressing, depending on the vintage, in order to allow valuable ingredients of the skins such as minerals, fragrances and tannins to gently escape. After gentle pressing, we slowly ferment the must in stainless steel and store the young wine on the fine lees until shortly before bottling. 

Food pairing: 
Recommended with asparagus, generally fine appetizers, white meat and fish. 

Serving temperature: 
10 - 12°C. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 3 years. 

Bottle size: 
750 ml - 75 cl - 0,75 lt. 

Allergens: 
wine can contain sulphites.

Castel Juval Unterortl Winery 
An estate winery also lives from strong personalities. The Castel Juval Unterortl Estate Winery in Castelbello at the entrance to the Val Senales has three at the same time: the king of mountain climbing, Reinhold Messner, is the owner, and Gisela and Martin Aurich run it as tenants. Three heads for one estate winery, so to speak. While Reinhold Messner most likely needs no further introduction, in the context of his estate winery it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the Aurichs. They have dedicated themselves to wine and distilled spirits since 1992. In the Castel Juval Unterortl Estate Winery, they are responsible for 30,000 bottles that are produced here year after year: Müller Thurgau, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir, whose very particular character is passionately looked after by the Aurichs. As their credo goes, in the end it should be possible to taste the characteristics of the grape variety, the soil, and the microclimate.
