Castel Juval Pinot Blanc 2024 - 13,5% vol. Unterortl Castel Juval Winery

Description: 
The wine is characterised by a fresh and varied fragrance of apple, pear and hints of green lemon. A mineral and persistent flavour is perceived in the mouth. 

Grape variety: 
Pinot Bianco - South Tyrol Val Venosta DOC 

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, the press stirs the grape must for a few hours depending on the vintage, in order to obtain minerals, natural fragrances and tannins. After pressing, the must ferments slowly in stainless steel containers and in acacia barrels. The young wine rests until shortly before bottling and matures on the lees. 

Food pairing: 
We recommend it with asparagus, and generally with strong-flavoured starters, white meat and fish dishes. Particularly enjoyable after two or three years of storage. 

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. 

Producer: 
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.
