Considered to be a benchmark producer in the region, Tiefenbrunner was founded in 1848 and their range of wines including Chardonnay, Muller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon Blanc continue to delight wine-lovers throughout the world. Their vineyards lie on the steep slopes of the region, one in particular, the Feldmarschell von Fenner Muller Thurgau is at 1000 metres above sea-level, and is trellised with the local pergola and wine frame methods. The winery is located in Entiklar, a hamlet of Kurtatsch and the estate consistently wins many awards in Italy’s most famous wine guide, the “Gambero Rosso”.
About the wine from the winemakers: “Our Classic MERUS wines embody their Latin name, which means “pure and genuine”. These wines are known for their varietal character and natural elegance. Fermented in steel and concrete barrels, the wines are bottled while young and authentic. The result: open, fresh, and approachable wines that are easy to drink.
100 % Chardonnay. Grown in chalk gravel moraine soil from hillside vineyards in Cortaccia and the sandy alluvial soil in Magre. Temperature-controlled fermentation for 10 days in concrete vats is followed by a four-month aging of the assemblage on the fine lees prior to bottling.
This luminous pale yellow Chardonnay with its resplendent green reflexes offers a pleasant aroma of meadow flowers, typical for the variety, reminiscent of exotic fruits. It is slightly tangy, well structured as well as full bodied with a long-lasting finish.”
90 points Wine Spectator “Honeysuckle, lush green melon, white peach and clementine flavors are well-spiced and appealing in this white, accented by heather, pickled ginger and green almond notes. Lightly salty on the finish, with a refreshing tang of blood orange peel acidity.”
