First green on the Gewürztraminer block this morning, a touch ahead of last year. Alpine-continental with warm days and cold nights. If a cold night lands we'll be out before dawn.

Winemaker
Made on a small Alto Adige estate — Gewürztraminer on glacial moraine, porphyry and dolomitic limestone. Anonymous by design: the trade name is revealed on commitment, after the samples and the data have done the talking.
The history.
Bolzano, Südtirol was a farming town long before it was a wine name. The family sold fruit to bigger houses for years before keeping it back and bottling under our own label.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Quiet season so far, which is the kind I like. No frost worth the name, even rain through spring. The old blocks broke bud first, the way they always do.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
Whole bunches when the stems are ripe, destemmed when they're not. Native ferment, long and slow. alpine-continental with warm days and cold nights does most of the shaping — restraint does the rest.
