More questions
This Gewürztraminer from Klaus Lentsch expresses the aromatic character of the variety without exaggeration: pronounced aromas of rose petals, sweet spices and exotic fruit flesh, supported by a pleasant, soft presence on the palate. The winemaking approach emphasizes olfactory expressiveness and a full yet balanced taste structure, with floral echoes and a saline finish that preserves freshness and harmony without excess. Its moderate structure and good balance make it suitable for everyday drinking as well as informal social occasions; it proves to be a wine with character but easy to drink.
Serve lightly chilled to appreciate its aromatic nuances: recommended temperature around 10–12 °C and wide glasses that promote aroma release. It pairs with flavorful fish dishes, delicate white meats, soft cheeses and spiced or Asian preparations that need an aromatic counterpoint. For a more focused tasting, open the bottle shortly before serving and let it breathe a few minutes.

The story
Klaus Lentsch, from a family of South Tyrolean winegrowers, began developing his own project by purchasing his first vineyard in 2008. In 2013 the winery moved to a new facility among the vineyards of St. Pauls/Eppan; the grapes come from vineyards in several microzones.
Production philosophy
Production closely linked to the land and quality: careful vineyard management, rigorous grape selection and the use of cellar technologies for gentle processing. The approach aims to express the identity of individual vineyards and to give the wines the necessary time to mature in the most suitable containers.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are situated in three distinct areas of Alto Adige: the Eisacktal with a Mediterranean–alpine climate and porphyritic soils; the Überetsch with rolling hills and alluvial/morainic soils; and the Unterland on porphyry bedrock and fluvial deposits.
Awards and recognition
The winery and its wines have received positive ratings and recognition in specialist wine magazines and guides; ratings for vintages and individual wines have been published in trade publications.
