    St. Michael Eppan Weissburgunder 'Schulthauser' 2019 - Half 0.375L

    €14,95
    Pinot blanc, South Tyrol's most important grape variety, has awakened from its slumber and developed a calling card for the region. First vinified and bottled in 1982, Schulthauser is the consummate South Tyrolean pinot blanc. This wine is not flashy, but is the consummate, fresh-fruited pinot blanc, whose pleasure is found in both its creamy smoothness and lively acidity. The color is straw yellow with green sparkles. In the nose, it has clean fruity notes of apple, apricot and pear. On the palate, it is lively and balanced with creamy flavors balanced with fresh acidity.
    For over 150 years, the vineyards around Castle "Moos-Schulthaus" have offered excellent conditions for cultivating Weissburgunder in South Tyrol. In the mild microclimate of cool nights in which the grapes ripen, up to 40-year-old vines grow. The "ethnic studies" museum has taken up residence in the prominent Moos Sultans Castle, which together with The Kathrinen Chapel reflects the architecture of the historic buildings.
    The vineyards are located between 540 and 620m high at Schulthaus, above Castle Moos, in Appiano facing southeast. The terroir consists of limestone gravel and clay. Manual harvesting of the Weissburgunder takes place in late September.Most (85%) is fermented in stainless steel tanks and the rest in oak barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation. The two wines are combined in February.
