Kuen Hof – Südtirol Sylvaner – 2019

The kuenhof company located in Bressanone in South Tyrol has always produced wines, and has been owned by the Pliger family for 200 years. It is a very small reality of only 6 hectares of vineyards between 500 – 700 meters high, where the aromatic white grape varieties are the masters, in fact only Riesling, Sylvaner, Veltliner and Gewurztraminer are produced in very few quantities. They are one of the best discoveries in South Tyrol, let’s say a gem! Until the 1980s they gave grapes to the Abbazia di Novacella cooperative, but since 1990 they have released their own label with less than 2000 bottles. Peter Pliger’s style is very clear: to personally take care of each plant in the most natural way possible, also following an organic philosophy in the cellar. The wines are super clean and very territorial, aromatic with a great acidity and flavor !!
Sylvaner is one of the most representative wines of the winery, a grape of ancient origins that grows particularly well in the Isarco Valley in South Tyrol. The style of this wine is very classic, in order to fully enhance the characteristics of this blend, in fact the refinement is carried out in steel tanks and bottles precisely to ensure aromaticity and freshness.
Flavor, freshness, minerality and fruit aromas are the main elements you will find in this wine. Great aging capacity! Very enjoyable and fun wine.
