FRESS RUBY RED PINOT NOIR
The mild weather in the Alps is perfect for the red grape from Burgundy, which has a hard time in the warm countries. Delightful Pinot Noir in aroma and color, medium fullness, like real Burgundy in the nose and mouth!
Today, Tramin masters the delicate grape perfectly, after winemaker Willi Stürz cut the yield. The wine is made as in Burgundy and is also close to the style. The wine comes from plots in the middle of the valley, where the climate is warmest.
FRISK RUBINRØD PINOT NOIR
Det milde vejr i Alperne er perfekt til den røde drue fra Bourgogne, som har det svært i de varme lande. Herlig Pinot Noir i aroma og farve, middel fylde, som ægte Bourgogne i næse og mund!
I dag mestrer Tramin den sarte drue perfekt, efter at vinmager Willi Stürz har skåret udbyttet ned. Vinen laves som i Bourgogne og er også tæt på stilen. Vinen kommer fra parceller midt i dalen, hvor klimaet er lunest.

ABOUT THE WINERY
CANTINA TRAMIN
The cellar in the small town of Tramin was founded in 1898 by the parish priest Christian Schrott. His parishioners own, on average, just 0.8 hectares, which are inherited through centuries and cared for as a community garden. The Winemaker is Willi Sturz, who in 1989 returned to his native town as an educated winemaker. He has since led the cellar to the absolute superclass. The wines are among Italy's best and get along with Gaja the highest marks in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guide.
Kælderen i den lille by Tramin blev stiftet i 1898 af sognepræsten Christian Schrott. Hans sognebørn ejer i snit blot 0,8 ha, som går i arv gennem århundreder og passes som en kolonihave! Vinmageren er Willi Stürz, som i 1989 vendte hjem til fødebyen som uddannet vinmager. Han har siden ført kælderen til den absolutte superklasse. Vinene hører til Italiens bedste og får sammen med Gaja de højeste karakterer i den ansete Gambero Rosso guide.
Pinot Noir
The fashionable red burgundy grape is capable of producing divinely scented, gorgeously fruity expressions of place but often unwilling or unable to do so. Pinot Noir is sensitive to the size of crop it is expected to produce, and many vapid examples exemplify an over-demanding yield. It ripens relatively early so is not suitable for very warm regions where there would be no time to develop interesting flavours before acid levels plummet. On the other hand, many of the cooler regions in which it thrives suffer autumn rains which can rot Pinot's thin-skinned berries, resulting in pale, tainted wines. The Pinot Noir grower's lot is not an easy one.
This ancient eastern French vine is, with Gouais Blanc, parent of a host of other varieties including Chardonnay, Gamay and the Muscadet grape Melon de Bourgogne. Because it is so old, there are many well-established mutations such as Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier and there is enormous variation in wine quality between different clones. Planting the wrong clone in the wrong place is one of many reasons for the wide variation in quality between different red burgundies and different varietal Pinot Noirs from elsewhere.
The positive side of all this is that Pinot Noir is a very transparent grape. It really can communicate the difference in terroir, or grape-growing environment, between adjacent plots of vineyard.
