Kuen Hof Peter Pliger Eisacktaler Gewurztraminer Doc

"This Veltliber has a golden-green color and very typical aromas of wild flowers, green apple, medicinal herbs and slightly smoky accents that intensify with age. The mouthfeel is taut, with an excellent impact and a robust acidity which holds up the bold structure. The finish is elegant, warm and persistent.

The Pliger’s Riesling vines were brought in from France, Germany and other producers in the Alto Adige. Riesling is now making a name for itself in Italy, and Pliger's 'Kaiton' bottling is one of the best. Lime-peel, flowers, petrol and an almost electric mineral character make this wine very exciting to drink; I am reminded of licking a nine-volt battery as a dare when I was younger. Bright balance of acidity and fruit. The name Kaiton is of Celtic origin, and was the name for the area around the estate."
