Tasting Notes

Goedhuis
Hailing from the foothills of the Dolomites, the Pinot Bianco ‘Eichorn’ 2018 is one of the star turns of the Alto Adige region. Here the Pinot Bianco grape is grown at a cool, breezy 300 metres altitude producing a style that combines distinctive Alpine and Mediterranean flavours. The 2018 boasts aromas of ripe orchard fruit notably pear and red apple. White blossom flavours lead to a tangy and delicious mineral finish. An unmissable white from one of Italy’s leading white wine producers
Producer
Manincor

Manincor is one of the greatest producers from this superb region whose wines Gambero Rosso describes as ‘uniquely sophisticated and elegant’. Manincor literally translates to ‘hand on heart’ and dates back 400 years as a wine estate. Its current owner, Count Michael Goëss-Enzenberg, took over from his uncle in 1991, and decided to start bottling their own wines rather than selling their grapes to the local co-operatives. In order to do so, much investment needed to be done which included the building of a state-of-the-art winery. Today, it boasts not only one of the sleekest cellars that we have seen but they are also fully biodynamic as they believe they need to give back to the vineyards in order to preserve the highest quality of their fruit. They even have their own beehives to help pollinate the vines as well as produce their own wooden barrels and vats from their own oak forest! Truly delicious, these wines are well worth discovering.
Region
Alto Adige
Alto Adige is one of Italy’s hidden gems. Situated at the foot of the Dolomites, it is a region of incredible beauty and diversity, where the beaming diurnal sun is accompanied by cool and breezy evenings. This contrast creates ample, expressive wines that are capable of attaining excellent ripeness yet still remain incredibly fresh, elegant and moderate in alcohol. There are very few regions in the world that can naturally capture these elements with such ease year-in and year-out. Antonio Galloni of Parker’s Wine Advocate has described Alto Adige as ‘The Pearl of Italy’ and ‘one of the most spectacular in all of Italy’ which remains ‘largely undiscovered’.
