The best wineries in Termeno sulla Strada del Vino.
The founder Wilhelm Walch would not have been able to know, in 1869, that this company could give good results up to the present and, above all, he would never have imagined to become part of one of the most beautiful and great wine realities in South Tyrol.
With great care and professionalism, Wilhelm Walch purchased a Jesuit monastery in the heart of Termeno, building a wine cellar, largely underground, where wines are still produced and kept.
In the heart of the village of Tramin, South Tyrol, the wines of Elena Walch mature, too.
In the shade of the great vinegrowing traditions, cutting edge techniques in the winery accompany wine making.
The visitor is surprised by the image of fascinating, huge inlaid oak Slavonian barrels, alternating to the traditional French oak barrels, contrast and history that make of the wine cellar one the most beautiful in the region.
The vinification takes into account the most modern techniques, with the conviction to minimize the oenological operations.
Tramin, Termeno, or the apotheosis of Gewürztraminer. Yet another confirmation of the wonderful pair consisting of Terminum Late Harvest and Nussbaumer, steel bulwarks of the interpretation of this variety of unmistakable aroma. The extraordinary mastery of Willi Stürz proves once again to be very skilful in bringing about the lavish wealth collected from these vineyards. General confirmations come from other labels, among which the well–harnessed power of Lagrein Urban and the aristocratic elegance of the Cabernet–Merlot Loam deserve a special highlight.
In the Hofstatter Estate the most well–known grape varieties in South Tyrol are grown. They have the undeniable privilege to name the vineyards placed on both sides of the river Adige.
It is exactly the work in the vineyards that leads continuously the producer to new challenges: decades of monoculture have exhausted the land, have deprived it of life, that life needed by vines to stay healthy and develop all their strength. And what they need is strength, today more than ever, for the alternation of extreme weather conditions.
Lately the word terroir is used as a slogan, as if it were a fixed concept, but that is actually subjected to changes which winemakers must take into account well in advance in their work between the vine rows. They have to understand, respect and harmonize all the elementary preconditions for the growth of a vine of excellence, unique and full of character.
Only in this way, even better grapes can be obtained from a vineyard that has already been producing good grapes for a long time.
Hofstatter is already working, without knowing the details first, on how we can better face the ecological challenges at the global level starting from a small living reality such as a vineyard.
The Termeno winery writes inevitably a part of the history of Gewürztraminer from Suoth Tyrol and is its main protagonist: still today, it sets the pace, seeking the production more and more interesting and elegant wines. But the full corporate range is of a level that has only few parallels in Italy.
Wanting to make an appraisal on the last ten years, I can say that the peculiar character of the vineyards and the local varieties is reflected in our wines.
At the Hofstätter estate, the most known varieties of South Tyrol are grown. In effect, with no doubt, we have the privilege of giving our name to vineyards located on both sides of the river Adige.
And the work in the vineyards leads me continually to new challenges: decades of monoculture have exhausted the soil, have took life away from it, that life the vine needs to stay healthy and to develop in all their strength. And it is exactly that strength that they need, today more than ever, for the alternating of extreme weather conditions.
Lately, the word "terroir" is used as a slogan, as if it were a fixed size, but that is actually subjected to changes which the winemaker must take into account well in advance in his work between the rows. You have to understand, respect and harmonize all the elementary preconditions for the growth of a vine of excellence, unique and full of character.
Only in this way you will get even better grapes from a vineyard that has already been giving a good product for a long time. I am already working on it, without knowing the details first, on how we can better address the ecological challenges at the global level from a small living reality like a vineyard.
