Description
What kind of wine is it
Feldmarschall Von Fenner is a still white wine by Tiefenbrunner. Made from Müller Thurgau grapes, it brings out the best characteristics of the Alto Adige region. In the glass, it reveals a straw yellow colour with bright greenish highlights. On the nose, it offers precise aromas of white peach and apricot, enhanced by elegant notes of sage and jasmine. The palate reveals a well-defined structure and a pleasant freshness, finishing with a persistent mineral aftertaste. It pairs ideally with seafood, oysters, cheeses, and spicy Asian dishes.
Where does it come from
The grapes are grown on the Favogna plateau, in Magrè, cultivated in a mountainous environment at over a thousand metres above sea level. This high-altitude location benefits from a microclimate sheltered from northern currents, ensuring optimal ripening. The vines sink their roots into clay and limestone soils, a composition that imparts deep savouriness to the wine. The Guyot training system, combined with high planting density and strictly controlled yields, allows for the harvest of bunches that faithfully express the complexity of the terroir.
How is it produced
The process begins with a brief skin maceration, aimed at gently extracting the aromatic components. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Most of the wine matures on the lees in steel to preserve the fruit's vibrancy, while a portion is aged in oak barrels, gaining structure through constant bâtonnage. The final blend results in a harmonious white, where vibrant acidity perfectly matches a clear and refined profile.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1848, the Tiefenbrunner winery continues its tradition thanks to the fifth generation of the family. The renowned Feldmarschall Von Fenner originates on the Favogna plateau, from vineyards cultivated at over 1,000 metres above sea level in a unique microclimate, protected from northern winds. Here, the clay and limestone-rich soils give rise to an elegant Alto Adige DOC with a captivating aromatic symphony. This highly prestigious Müller Thurgau has conquered the international scene, boasting an impressive 95 points from Decanter.
