Tiefenbrunner Description
The Tielenbrunner estate is run by husband-and-wife team, Christol and Sabine Tielenbrunner, representing the fifth generation of this family winery. Their estate vineyards total twenty-live hectares within the communes of Entiklar. Kurialsch and Margreid, with another 45 hectares that are farmed by trusted growers throughout the region and fill much of their entry-level portfolio, the Merus lineup. There's a lot to like about the selection at this estate, as Tiefenbrunner ranks among the wineries in Alto Adige that maintains a fantastic level of quality across the board. Their selection wines, the Pinot Blanc Anna and the Sauvignon Blanc Turmhof, a blend of the best parcels, are standouts. However, it's undoubtedly the single-vineyard Muller-Thurgau Feldmarschall von Fenner that is the crowning jewel of the estate. The Feldmarschall is sourced from the highest known elevation Muller-Thurgau vineyard in Europe al 1000 meters.
It's one of the top whites of the region and is geared for the cellar.
Tasting Note: Light straw in color, the Feldmarschall offers intense aromas of stone fruits and crisp green apples with scents of jasmine and sage. On the palate, this beautifully balanced wine displays a rich minerality and zesty acidity that results in incredible finesse.
Wine Pairing: Extremely elegant and refined, the Feldmarschall pairs well with a vast array of lighter seafood dishes, especially oysters and sashimi.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2021 Feldmarschall Von Fenner opens with a minty freshness as savory herbs and flinty stone give way to yellow apples and cardamon. Expertly balanced, this soothes with its supple textures, ripe orchard fruits and salty mineral tones mixed with hints of lime and sour melon to display contrasts. The 2021 tapers off with staining length and crisp. Lime and nectarine notes linger on and on and on. This is simply stunning today with the balance for a lovely evolution.
