Description and technical sheet
Sanct Valentin Gewürztraminer 2025 shows why an expressive aromatic white can also be a serious food wine. Part of the St. Michael-Eppan Sanct Valentin range since 1986, this bottling combines an unmistakable floral and exotic-fruit signature with breadth, balance and ageing potential. Careful grape selection and stainless-steel winemaking allow the variety to remain at the centre of the experience.
Selected vineyards in Alto Adige
The grapes are 100% Gewürztraminer, sourced from selected sites in Appiano and Caldaro at 300–500 metres above sea level. Predominantly south-east-facing vineyards stand on gravelly, calcareous and clay-rich soils. The vines, trained using the Guyot system, range from approximately 5 to 35 years of age; the winery reports a yield of 45 hl/ha. These growing conditions support both aromatic concentration and balance.
Hand harvesting and stainless-steel maturation
Grapes are generally harvested and selected by hand in mid-September. A period of maceration precedes gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and maturation in stainless-steel tanks. The technical sheet does not indicate an oak-ageing stage: the emphasis is on preserving the variety’s distinctive floral, fruit and spice expression.
Tasting character, serving and cellaring
The wine displays a deep golden-yellow hue and a fragrant nose of rose, lychee, passion fruit, exotic fruit and oriental spices. The palate is full, complex and expressive, with a touch of residual sugar adding roundness. For the 2025 vintage, the winery reports 14% ABV, 6.0 g/l residual sugar and 4.4 g/l acidity.
Serve at 8–10°C alongside spicy Asian food, sweet-and-sour dishes, foie gras, aged cheeses, saffron risotto or seafood risotto. The producer indicates cellaring potential of ten years or more under suitable conditions. 750 ml bottle; contains sulphites.
