Tiefenbrunner Merus Gewurztraminer 2025

Tiefenbrunner Merus Gewurztraminer 2025 is a beautifully expressive dry white wine from Alto Adige, crafted to capture the aromatic intensity and mountain freshness that make Gewürztraminer such a distinctive local specialty. From the historic slopes around Cortaccia and Niclara, it combines generous fragrance, precision, and a refined dry finish in a style that reflects one of northern Italy’s most characterful white-wine regions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear yellow color with golden highlights. The nose is deeply aromatic and layered, with notes of candied fruit, ripe grapes, honey, sage, rose petals, and subtle oriental spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust yet well balanced, with pronounced aromatic persistence and a long, spicy finish. Despite its richness, the wine remains dry and harmonious, with enough structure and freshness to keep it lively. It has good aging potential and can develop gracefully over the next three to five years.

Production
The grapes come from hillside vineyards in Cortaccia and Niclara in South Tyrol, planted on south to southwest-facing slopes between 260 and 470 meters above sea level. The terroir is varied, combining calcareous gravel from moraine sediments in Niclara with clay soils in Cortaccia, helping to build both aromatic depth and textural balance. The vines are trained using pergola and Guyot systems, with carefully controlled yields to preserve concentration and precision. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to protect the grape’s natural aromatics and freshness. The wine is then aged for four months on fine lees, which adds harmony, structure, and a more complete mouthfeel while maintaining its dry character and varietal purity.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for Asian cuisine, lobster, and foie gras pâté, as well as spicy dishes, shellfish, and richly seasoned white meats. Serve chilled at around 10-12°C, and decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Tiefenbrunner is one of Alto Adige’s historic family wineries, founded in 1848 and now run by the fifth generation. With its long-standing presence in the region, the estate has become closely associated with elegant, terroir-driven wines that express the alpine identity of South Tyrol. Merus Gewurztraminer is a strong example of that tradition, combining aromatic intensity, balance, and the winery’s hallmark precision.
