Tiefenbrunner Feldmarschall 2018

Tiefenbrunner Feldmarschall von Fenner 2018 is one of Alto Adige’s most distinctive white wines, crafted entirely from Müller-Thurgau grown at dramatic alpine altitudes. This cuvée shows how refined, complex and ageworthy the grape can be when handled with care and planted in the right terroir. Named after the historic Habsburg field marshal Franz Philipp von Fenner, it brings together mountain freshness, noble structure and real depth in the glass.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Feldmarschall von Fenner 2018 is a luminous straw yellow with greenish reflections, signaling its freshness and precision. The nose is intensely aromatic yet finely etched: think white peach, ripe pear and citrus blossom layered with alpine herbs, white flowers, and a touch of wet stone and sweet spice. On the palate the wine is dry, elegant and tightly focused, with a racy mountain acidity that cuts through a smooth, almost creamy texture. Flavors of lemon zest, green apple, juicy stone fruit and hints of nutmeg and chamomile unfold gradually, carried by a pronounced mineral backbone and a long, clean, saline finish. The 2018 has the structure to develop beautifully in bottle for 6–10 years from vintage, gaining more honeyed, smoky and nutty nuances while retaining its characteristic freshness.

Production
The grapes for Feldmarschall von Fenner come from some of Europe’s highest Müller-Thurgau vineyards on the Fennberg plateau in Alto Adige, often around 1,000 meters above sea level. Here, cool mountain nights, warm sunny days and porous, limestone-rich soils create an ideal environment for slow, even ripening and intense aromatic development. The fruit is typically hand-harvested in small crates to ensure careful selection and preserve aromatic purity, then gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to capture freshness and precision, followed by aging on fine lees to add texture and complexity without masking the clarity of the terroir.

Food & Serving
Tiefenbrunner Feldmarschall von Fenner 2018 is a superb partner for delicate yet flavorful dishes: think marinated trout or char, shellfish, sushi and sashimi, grilled sea bass, alpine cheeses, or light poultry with herbs and lemon. It also pairs beautifully with vegetable-based cuisine such as asparagus, risotto with spring vegetables, or aromatic Asian dishes that are not overly spicy. Serve chilled at about 10–12 °C. A brief 20–30 minutes in the decanter can help the aromatics open up, especially if the wine is served on the cooler side or enjoyed a few years after release.
