Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A fruity white wine, yellowish-green in color. It has a scent of fresh green apples. Juicy and fruity on the palate, with a peppery resonance.

Professional Ratings

    Aromas of canteloupe, Granny Smith apple and smoke follow over to the vibrant palate along with lemon drop, white pepper and wild herb. Bright acidity and flinty mineral notes impart fabulous energy.

    The Abbazia di Novacella 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Grüner Veltliner is an open-knit white with peach, pineapple and baked apple. This medium-weight wine closes with a silky texture and a lean finish. Three-quarters of the must is fermented and aged in stainless steel and one-quarter goes into large oak casks. The vines are rooted in glacier soils with quartz and other mineral deposits. Best after 2022.

The Augustinian Canons Regular monastery of Neustift is located in the northern-most winegrowing region on the southern side of the Alps. The mineral-rich soils, the elevation (1,970 ft – 2,950 ft) and the cool climate are all factors which explain the intense aromas and flavours as well as fruity, mouth-watering acidity found in our wines produced from the typical white Eisack Valley grape varieties. The long drawn-out ripening period extending well into the autumn is crucial. The most widely-grown vines in our vineyards around Vahrn just north of Brixen are Sylvaner, Kerner, Gewürztraminer and Veltliner.

The monastery also owns vineyards in the warm central region of South Tyrol which supply the red grapes. They include the full-bodied, savoury Lagrein from the Mariaheim vineyard in Bolzano/Bozen and red wines from the Marklhof estate in the cool rolling hills of Girlan to the south of Bolzano where the grapes are harvested, crushed and the wines matured. The wines include Vernatsch, Pinot Noir and the lusciously sweet Rosenmuskateller ('Rose Muscat', the name deriving from the variety's typical scent of roses).

With over 850 years of experience coupled with state-of-the-art winemaking technology, top-class expertise and the enormous enthusiasm the wines generate among our employees, we succeed in producing wines bursting with flavour and varietal character year after year, to the joy of wine-lovers worldwide.

Fun to say and delightfully easy to drink, Grüner Veltliner calls Austria its homeland. While some easily quaffable Grüners come in a one-liter—a convenient size—many high caliber single vineyard bottlings can benefit from cellar aging. Somm Secret—About 75% of the world’s Grüner Veltliner comes from Austria but the variety is gaining ground in other countries, namely Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the United States.
