Our Wines

Shaped by land and passion

We tend to our wines with devotion and meticulous attention. Our vineyard hosts grape varieties ideally suited to the microclimate and altitude. The winemaker Felix has an innate understanding of the vines, nurtured from growing up amongst them. During the wine harvest, he prioritises low yields and the selection of flawless grapes. All steps of the process are completed by hand.

In the cellar, we finish what we started in the vineyard. The fermentation is temperature-controlled with selected pure yeasts, which gives our wines their incomparable mineral freshness. After an extended period of maturation on the lees, our white wines enchant with their elegant and complex characteristics. Thanks to malolactic conversion (MLF), our red wines are light, digestible and promise pure drinking pleasure.  

Our wines are a source of pride, reflecting our individuality and diversity. Their delightful combination of fruity and mineral flavours brings a sense of freshness, joy, and finesse.

In 2000, Christine established the vineyards surrounding the historic Gaudententurm; additional grapevines thrive in Partschins-Pröfing at 640 meters. Thanks to the northern exposure, a constant cool breeze ensures our vines never get too warm. As a result, we are rewarded with finely developed aromas and unparalleled freshness. The Zweigelt undergoes malolactic fermentation (MLF) in the cellar, contributing to its digestibility and pleasant roundness. It matures in a French barrique barrel, expertly crafted by the Bolzano cooperage, Mittelberger, for eight months. In the glass, our Zweigelt showcases an intense ruby-red colour and entices the nose with a bouquet of berries (raspberry, sweet cherry, and cranberry), accompanied by velvety, spicy notes of mountain thyme, freshly ground pepper, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. The pleasantly mild tannins and subtle acidity on the palate leave you yearning for the next sip. Our Zweigelt pairs exceptionally well with spicy fish and delicate meat dishes. It is also a delightful accompaniment to hearty pasta dishes and lasagna. Decanting the wine before enjoying it reveals the Zweigelt's aromas even more impressively.     Recycling information: PVC3C/ALU90; GL71 [permalink] => https://hofbrennerei.com/en/shop/wine-en/zweigelt-3/ [thumbnail] => https://hofbrennerei.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/DSC08461-e1627458396768.png [price] => 16.5 [in_cart] => 1 [excerpt] => The Zweigelt is an elegant red wine that matures in oak barrels.

It is the ideal starter for a holiday and an excellent companion throughout the day. The vines grow underneath the Lagundo Waalweg path on vineyard terraces in a weather-protected basin. Two hundred fifty-two steps lead you through the dry stone walls enclosing the vineyard, but it is worth the effort. The Vernatsch embodies a pleasantly light and elegant drinking experience underlined by its characteristic ruby-red colour in the glass. The uncomplicated allrounder unfolds scents of sweet cherries, blackberries and red currants. The typical delicate almond note makes you ask for more with each sip. A smooth, lingering finish follows the fresh and juicy palate. Pure drinking fun! We enjoy our Vernatsch slightly chilled, as it perfectly complements a typical South Tyrolean bacon snack as well as poultry and fish dishes.     Recycling information: ALU90; GL71 [permalink] => https://hofbrennerei.com/en/shop/wine-en/vernatsch-meraner-huegel-doc/ [thumbnail] => https://hofbrennerei.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/DSC08460-e1627458388851.png [price] => 13 [in_cart] => 1 [excerpt] => The local Schiava variety Vernatsch is a true South Tyrolean classic.

The vines grow in sun-drenched gardens surrounding the Gaudententurm. A particularly gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation provide our pale, pink-coloured rosé with a carefree, fruity drinking pleasure. The aromas of cherries and raspberries unfurl from the glass while delicate floral hints of violets and rose petals dance alongside a subtle, fresh almond note. Our rosé wine delights on the palate with its juicy texture and mineral undertones. Its crisp and refreshing character makes it an ideal choice as an aperitif and a versatile companion to various dishes. Have also fun with the rosé as your sole companion. Slightly chilled, it gives even more liveliness and drinking pleasure. We like to serve it with risotto, light fish and meat dishes, pizza, and pasta.     Recycling information: ALU90; GL70 [permalink] => https://hofbrennerei.com/en/shop/wine-en/zweigelt-rose/ [thumbnail] => https://hofbrennerei.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/DSC08458-e1627458377307.png [price] => 13 [in_cart] => 1 [excerpt] => Our rosé evokes instant summer vibes.

Christine planted the Moscato Giallo vines in Parcines-Pröfing in 2001. Thanks to the airy, fresh and sun-drenched 640 meters, they may take a little more time to ripen. When harvested, the berries are golden in colour and reward us with a unique aromatic depth unfolding in fruity and spicy wines. The dry Moscato Giallo offers fruity aromas of honeydew melon, Muscat grapes, passion fruit, and peach, accompanied by orange blossoms, hay flowers, and a touch of white pepper. It is aromatic yet light on the palate, with pleasantly mild acidity. The pronounced minerality impressively prolongs the juicy finish. Our Moscato Giallo is a perfect match with a selection of cheeses and spicy, lightly piquant dishes such as an Asian-inspired curry.     Recycling information: ALU90; GL71   [permalink] => https://hofbrennerei.com/en/shop/wine-en/goldmuskateller-moscato-giallo/ [thumbnail] => https://hofbrennerei.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/DSC08451-e1627458335369.png [price] => 14 [in_cart] => 1 [excerpt] => The Moscato Giallo (Gold Muscat) combines the unbound joy of life with a terrific drinking ...
