Unterebner Pinot Grigio has represented our winery's pursuit of top quality since 1989. This wine reveals the surprising finesse and elegance of this grape variety, lending it an alpine touch, far removed from fashions and trends. A long winter delayed the vines' spring awakening to early April. Bud break was followed by further cooling, which delayed full bloom. The turbulent season continued with a warm June and a wet July, which ideally prepared the soil for the onset of ripening. Dry weeks in August with exceptionally low night temperatures and a sunny autumn ensured picture-perfect weather. Although there were brief periods of rain at the end of September and beginning of October, many warm days and increasingly cooler nights dominated the harvest season. The harvest began about 10 days later than the usual annual average and also yielded significantly lower quantities. The profound white wines of 2021 delight with their pronounced freshness and particularly fine fruit aromas, while the concentrated red wines impress with a ripe tannin structure and fresh fruit body. Color: golden yellow. Aroma: fine, fresh, and elegant notes of pear and hay, toasted bread with melted butter, spicy notes of tobacco, vanilla, and incense. Palate: full and rich, round and dense, with alpine freshness, good juiciness, minerality, and a long, distinctive finish.
