The Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC from the Joseph Hofstätter winery is an excellent example of how the specific terroir of Alto Adige can positively influence this aromatic grape variety. This label embodies the essence of Gewurztraminer, with careful production that respects both tradition and innovation.
Visually, the wine presents an intense golden yellow color, signaling its rich olfactory profile. The bouquet is complex and intensely aromatic: notes of roses, lychees, exotic spices, and hints of honey and vanilla blend into an alluring and persistent fragrance. The floral and fruity component is typical of Gewurztraminer and is enhanced by the unique microclimate and altitude of Hofstätter’s vineyards.
On the palate, the Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC is opulent yet balanced. The attack is soft, almost oily, with an excellent balance between sweetness and acidity that translates into a pleasant and lasting freshness. The finish is long and aromatic, with a persistence that brings back the spices and floral notes experienced on the nose.
This wine is ideal for pairing with spicy dishes, Asian cuisine, or fruit-based desserts. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 10-12°C to enhance all its nuances.
The Joseph Hofstätter winery, renowned for its dedication to quality and attention to detail, is committed to sustainable and responsible viticulture, ensuring not only the excellence of the product but also respect for the surrounding environment. A true gem for wine lovers looking for a Gewurztraminer with character and distinctiveness.

Winery history
The winery has family origins: Josef and Maria Hofstätter began production in Termeno, and over the course of the 20th century management passed to family members and key figures such as Konrad Oberhofer. In the 1950s the winery was among the first in the area to bottle its own wine and to promote wines of defined origin. In the following decades the estate grew through marriages between winemaking families, acquisitions of farmsteads and vineyards, and extensive modernization from the 1990s under the leadership of Martin Foradori Hofstätter.
Production philosophy
The approach is centered on origin: vinifying the grapes separately to convey the character of each vineyard. The "Vigna" classification encapsulates the commitment to zoning and the expression of terroir, together with an openness to winemaking innovation.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards extend along both banks of the Valle dell'Adige in the Bassa Atesina. The estate also cultivates plots in Trentino and has projects and vineyards in the Mosel/Saar region of Germany for Riesling.
Awards and recognitions
Some of the winery's wines and its crus have received recognition and ratings from the specialist press.
