Ritterhof Gewurztraminer Auratus 2025

Ritterhof Gewürztraminer Auratus 2025 is an expressive aromatic white wine that captures the bright, alpine character of Alto Adige in every sip. Made from Gewürztraminer (Traminer Aromatico) grown in the prized Termeno area, it stands out for its floral intensity, layered spice, and refined balance between richness and freshness. Founded in 1967, Ritterhof has built a reputation for showcasing the region’s distinctive mountain terroir with elegance and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep straw-yellow color with luminous golden reflections. The bouquet is immediately inviting, opening with rose petals and geranium, then unfolding into tropical fruit, elderflower, and a subtle herbal-spicy layer of dill and sage. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with a silky texture supported by a lively, spicy freshness that keeps the wine lifted and harmonious. The finish is aromatic and persistent, with floral and exotic nuances lingering gracefully. Thanks to its concentration and lees aging, it has excellent aging potential for a Gewürztraminer and can develop added complexity over time.

Production
The vineyards are located in Trentino-Alto Adige, in the Termeno/Rungg area, at 320 to 400 meters above sea level, where sunny exposures help the grapes reach full aromatic ripeness. The clay-silt soils contribute to the wine’s structure and enhance its natural fragrance, while the estate’s sustainable viticulture reflects a strong respect for the alpine landscape. The grapes are harvested by hand from late September through mid-October, ensuring only fully mature bunches are selected. In the cellar, the fruit undergoes about seven hours of cold maceration before pressing to extract maximum aroma from the skins, followed by controlled-temperature fermentation and aging on the lees to build roundness, texture, and aromatic depth.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Asian dishes, shellfish, grilled fish, and refined seafood preparations, as well as flavorful cheeses and lightly spiced cuisine. Serve it well chilled at around 10–12°C; decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help open the aromatics if served young.
