Tasting Notes

The Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer is characterised by sumptuous fruit. Deep golden yellow in colour with green reflexes, on the nose it is reminiscent of ripe apricot and peach intermingled with exotic fruits such as lychee, mango and passion fruit. The fruit characteristics follow through on the palate; full-bodied, luscious but dry, the opulence cut by vibrant, firm acidity finishing elegant, dry and aromatic.

About the Winery

Tenuta J. Hofstätter is an exceptional winery, nestling in the heart of Italy's northern Alto Adige region. Famous for its bespoke and diverse range of wines, this charming winery boasts over a century of rich history and is widely respected for the calibre of its produce.

The winery was founded in the 1900s by Joseph Hofstätter, a passionate vintner who grew to be an influential figure in the area.

Today, the business is expertly managed by the fourth-generation descendants of Hofstätter, who continue to uphold the commitment to quality, authenticity, and innovation that their progenitor embodied.

Tenuta J. Hofstätter harnesses the unique terroir of the Alto Adige - a region characterised by its striking contrasts between Mediterranean and alpine climates. The winery owns vineyards across various microclimates and altitudes, which in turn, imparts unique characteristics to each bottle of wine produced. Its vast portfolio includes a stunning variety of red and white wines; including, but not limited to, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, and Lagrein.

The riverside Villa Barthenau, a historic jewel in the Hofstätter wine estate crown, is home to the Pinot Nero vineyards. Here, the grapes are cultivated with meticulous attention and respect for nature, resulting in wines of unrivalled elegance, depth and complexity.

Highlighting their dedication to the environment and sustainable agriculture, the winery is committed towards minimising chemical usage and preserving biodiversity in their vineyards. On a visit to the winery, guests will be embraced by stunning scenery, the sound of clinking wine glasses, and a pervasive sense of peace.
