Gewurztraminer (2024) - H.lun

This fine aromatic white wine is made in the Alto Adige region, famous for its winemaking tradition. Its distinctive feature is its intense, spicy scent, which gives it the name "Gewürz", German for "spicy". Although it is a white wine, its golden yellow colour is far more intense than that of other white wines, almost like a red.

The appellation: Alto Adige Gewürztraminer DOC

Alto Adige Gewürztraminer DOC is one of the most iconic and recognisable expressions of the aromatic Gewürztraminer variety, grown on the sunny, well-ventilated hills of Alto Adige. The very name of the grape refers to the village of Termeno (Tramin), which lies in this very area and claims its historic origin. This wine stands out for its intense scents, substantial structure and enveloping taste, combining aromatic richness with the alpine freshness typical of the region.

What to eat with Gewurztraminer

Who makes it: H.lun

Founded in 1840 by Alois H. Lun, this revolutionary label was among the first in Alto Adige entirely devoted to bottled wine, selecting only the best grapes from the finest sites. Today H. Lun is an independent brand run by Cantina di Cornaiano in the same original spirit: quality, sense of place and continuity . The message is clear: “growing each variety in its ideal place, to amplify its original personality” — a vision still alive thanks to the winemaking direction of Gerhard Kofler.
