Orange di Schloss Englar stands out in the wine landscape of IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti for its particular territorial expression and the type of grapes used. This wine is born in a unique mountain environment, where the cool microclimate and marked temperature variations contribute to impart freshness and aromatic complexity to the final product.
Often produced from white grape varieties vinified with prolonged maceration, Orange captures the essence of a dedicated yet unconventional territory. The aging method usually involves long contact with the skins, which provides structure and soft tannins, while at the same time making the bouquet particularly wide and multifaceted. On the nose, notes of dried fruit, aromatic herbs, and spicy hints emerge, while on the palate it surprises with its sapidity and persistence.
An excellent companion for dishes based on structured fish, aged cheeses, and spiced white meats, Orange di Schloss Englar is a refined proposal for those seeking an original sensory experience rooted in the alpine matrix of the Dolomites.

The story
The Castel/Schloss Englar complex is a medieval settlement first mentioned in documents from 1256; the present late‑Gothic building developed from the 15th century and the property has been linked for centuries to the Counts Khuen‑Belasi. In recent decades the manor has been restored and also converted for hospitality use; wine production was revived and, since 2014, winemaking has again been carried out and bottled on site.
Production philosophy
The winery focuses on estate-grown grapes, organic vineyard management and the preservation of biodiversity. In the cellar, careful winemaking practices are preferred to produce clean wines characteristic of the area, with extended aging in wood and respect for maturation on the lees when necessary.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in San Michele di Appiano, the estate stands on a south-facing terraced hill with an almost Mediterranean influence. The area benefits from ample sunshine and soils well suited to alpine and international varieties.
Awards and recognition
Wine ratings reported by specialist magazines, with scores for various reserve wines reaching up to around 93/100 for labels such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir Reserve; numerous labels reviewed with scores in the 91–93/100 range.
