With the Pinot Bianco "Kristallberg" a new wine from high altitude vineyards was created, which can perfectly bring to the fore the vertical, complex, and mineral typicity of the Pinot Bianco.‚Äã To guarantee a fresh style of Pinot Bianco now and for future vintages, a vineyard at an altitude of 2,000ft on a small mountain terrace between Tramin and Kaltern was purchased a few years ago, and other sites at the same altitude were added later.

Presenting a clear, fresh straw yellow and a bouquet of fruity aromas with fresh pears and white stone fruits, as well as spicy notes with green walnuts and smoky and mineral aromas in the background. Elegant on the palate, but with juicy freshness, youthful vitality and stirring acidity, this partially barrel-fermented wine shows great minerality.‚Äã
