2020 Terlaner Cuvee, Terlano (Half Bottle)

The Alps in a glass. Balanced and multi-layered, here the Pinot Bianco (60%) provides freshness and a good acid structure, while Chardonnay (30%) delivers a pleasing warmth and mellowness and Sauvignon Blanc (10%) adds a fine aromatic character. Try it paired with sausages and sauerkraut for the ultimate Südtirol experience.

"Representing excellent value, this release of about a quarter-million bottles is not at all what you would expect from a production of this scale. A blend of 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, this vintage is the latest in a storied line that has been in production since 1893. The Pinot Bianco is grown at high altitudes, while the other two grapes come from lower elevations. The 2020 Alto Adige Terlaner Cuvée is smooth and is a veritable sounding board of stone fruit aromas, plus honey and some raw ginger or turmeric. You might serve it with a plate of smoked salmon. Drink 2021-2026."  Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
