Chardonnay

Growing area For this wine we use grapes from selected vineyards, which are situated in the Oltradige at an altitude of 350–450m above sea level. The specific composition of the soil - dominated by poor gravelly and loamy elements rich in limestone - gives the wine its name “Marna”. Winemaking  The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification by natural sedimentation is followed by the alcoholic fermentation, of which 40% takes place in stainless steel tanks and 60% in large oak barrels. The wine ages for 7 months on the fine lees and only a part of it undergoes a malolactic fermentation. Before the wine is released to the market a further bottle ageing takes place. Tasting notes & food matching The grape variety Chardonnay is becoming increasingly important at Cantina Girlan. Poor clayey soils, low yields and gentle vinification bring a lot of freshness, good structure and its unique character of origin into the glass. Regarding food pairing, Marna Chardonnay is highly versatile and accompanies delightfully vegetarian starters, delicate fish dishes, but also white meat.

Growing area  For this extraordinary wine we choose the best Chardonnay grapes from the hillside vineyards of Oltradige. They grow in different vineyards with an age between 18 and 25 years, at an altitude from 450 to 500 m above sea level. The vines are trained using the Guyot system. The vines grow in glacial moraine soils, based on volcanic porphyry. Winemaking  The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation. Alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels of 12 and 15 hl, followed by malolactic fermentation. The aging takes place on the lees in oak barrells for 12 months and further 6 months in the bottle. Tasting notes & food matching  An elegant frame and fine consistency, with intense fruity notes. An excellent structure that is flavoursome and mineral, with a persistent palate. We recommend serving this wine with refined dishes, including meats.

Growing areaYears of extensive research and countless tests by vinification of the smallest quantities of wine were the foundation stone for this wine. The grapes for this wine come from 2 selected plots in the single vineyard Girlan, situated on the hills Gschleier and Schreckbichl between 450-500m above sea level. The vineyards face east and west respectively and cover a total area of 1 ha. The 20-25 year old vines grow on poor and gravelly soils, formed by moraine deposits on volcanic porphyry rock.WinemakingThe fully mature grapes were harvested by hand at the beginning of October and delivered in small containers. After immediate whole bunch pressing, the must is clarified from the lees by natural sedimentation. Fermentation, malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing on the lees take place for 12 months in barriques. The wine then matures for 8 months in steel tanks and is stored in the bottle for another 12 months.Tasting notes & food matchingAroma: Citrus and peach. Taste: The wine presents itself elegantly and complex with pronounced minerality. The finish is long and saliva stimulating. Wine pairings: This wine elegantly accompanies fine fish dishes, but also white meat.

Growing areaThis Pinot Bianco is grown on the hillside vineyards in Oltradige, at an altitude ranging from 450 to 500 m above sea level in well aired vineyards. The growing site is rich in minerals, the result of ice age sedimentation and characterized by volcanic porphyry soils.Winemaking The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. Gentle pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation follows. The fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, same as the ageing on the fine lees.Tasting notes & food matchingPinot Bianco has compact bunches of small greenish grapes. It is the most cultivated white grape variety at Cantina Girlan. Its delicate aroma that reminds of slight apple blossom bouquet and a lively palate make Pinot Bianco the ideal aperitif wine.
