Upupa Orange Gewürztraminer 2021 - 13,5% vol. Abraham Winery

Description: 
This Gewürztraminer impresses with its strong golden yellow color. The typical bouquet is reminiscent of rose petals, lychee and orange blossom, combined with a spicy-minty component. The wine has a very powerful effect on the palate, it is full-bodied, elegant and very dry. The noticeable tannin, created by the must fermentation, combined with ripe aromas, embodies the very own character of this grape variety. 

Grape variety: 
Gewürztraminer - South Tyrol Alto Adige IGT Mitterberg. 

Production area: 
The vineyard "In der Lamm'' is located in Eppan in the hamlet of Weißhaus at approx. 500m above sea level. The airy hillside location, which faces west, is very sun-kissed and allows the grapes to ripen optimally. Moraine soils from the last Ice Age predominate here, mixed with volcanic rock made of very mineral-rich quartz porphyry. The Gewürztraminer vines were planted in 2000 using the most aromatic native clone Laimburg 14. The naturally very low yields are a guarantee for the highest wine quality. 

Vinification: 
A very late harvest with about 10% dried berries and a small proportion of Pinot Blanc (<10%) is followed by spontaneous fermentation with the berry skins. After 4 weeks of contact with the mash, the soft pressing takes place. The fermentation and maturation take place in used 500 liter oak barrels for approx. 15 months. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. 

Food pairing: 
This special Gewürztraminer is particularly well suited to smoked, low-fat fish or meat, Asian cuisine and  blue cheese. 

Serving temperature: 
10 - 12°C. In order to develop its full potential, the wine needs time to breathe. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 10 years. 

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

Allergens: 
Wine can contain sulphites. 

Producer: 
Abraham Winery 
The family business Winery Abraham in St. Michael / Eppan was founded by Martin Abraham and Marlies Pohl Abraham with the aim of processing their own grapes into high-quality wines. Martin and Marlies Abraham are winemakers by conviction. They live their passion. They use the knowledge and creative power of their ancestors as the foundation of their actions today. Now it is their turn to carry this deep-rooted passion forward. THE FUTURE NEEDS A GENUINE. Working with nature means compromising. Again and again new areas of tension arise between acting and letting go. This tightrope walk is a daily challenge. When you inhale the scent of rain-soaked earth, you will become aware of the uniqueness and diversity of this terroir. In the west of the vineyards we find dolomite rock, limestone marl, red clay and sand from the debris cone of the Mendel Mountains. In the east, moraine soils from the last ice age are predominant, mixed with volcanic rock made of quartz porphyry with a very high mineral content.
