94 pts. VIGNA GANGER Pinot Noir Riserva 2021
Mazon is a special subzone in Alto Adige with a long tradition of Pinot Noir cultivation. This estate now makes two top-end Riserva selections to highlight the individual identities of the mountain's various slopes dedicated to this variety. The Girlan 2021 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Mazon Vigna Ganger (in heavy glass with 2,136 bottles produced) shows concentration and power over a relatively full-bodied style. The wine matures in barrique (70% new oak) for 18 months and spends six months in 1,200-liter casks to complete its slow integration. It shows dark fruit and blackcurrant with hints of mountain herb and dried orange peel. The oak influence plays out mostly in terms of the wine's medium- to full-bodied texture.
94 pts. CURLAN Chardonnay Riserva 2021
In a heavy glass bottle, the Girlan 2021 Alto Adige Riserva Chardonnay Curlan is a wine that borrows on its Alpine environment with soils of glacier origin for brightness and verticality of aromas. It also borrows from sophisticated winemaking, with 12 months in barrique, eight months in stainless steel and 12 months in bottle for a creamy, medium- to full-bodied mouthfeel. It's a lovely wine from a stellar vintage. Production is limited to 2,100 bottles.
93 pts. CURLAN Pinot Noir Riserva 2021
Here is a second Riserva expression of Pinot Noir by Girlan. The 2021 Alto Adige Riserva Pinot Noir Curlan (in a heavy glass bottle with only 3,023 made) draws its fruit from a high-elevation site at 500 meters in elevation on glacial till soils. These conditions allow for slow ripening and increased complexity of flavors. On the Pinot Noir scale, this wine is hearty and concentrated, with blackcurrant and savory spice over a medium- to full-bodied mouthfeel. It ages in barrique for 19 months, with 70% new oak, and finishes off with a few months in stainless steel before going into bottle. Compared to the Mazon Vigna Ganger, the Curlan is more powerful in terms of tannins and fruit weight.
92 pts. FLORA Pinot Bianco Riserva 2022
The Girlan 2022 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Riserva Flora is a beautiful wine that faithfully follows the playlist of a grape that tends to offer more in terms of textural weight than it does aromatic intensity. A somewhat neutral bouquet of stone fruit, pear and crushed stone is followed by plush fruit weight. The wine matures in oak for 12 months, followed by a close-down period of six months in stainless steel. Production is 6,700 bottles.
91 pts. FLORA Chardonnay 2023
The Girlan 2023 Alto Adige Chardonnay Flora offers a cool-climate interpretation of this French grape with a mid-weight, creamy texture and varietal aromas of stone fruit and poached pear. The verticality and brightness of the wine is preserved carefully thanks to growing conditions that include mineral-rich soils and glacial till.
90 pts. GSCHLEIER Alte Reben Vernatsch 2023
The Girlan 2023 Alto Adige Vernatsch Gschleier Alte Reben is a lean-bodied red with a racy and spicy side that recalls white pepper, forest berry, moss and blue flower. This wine matures in botte grande for nine months for a smooth mouthfeel and integrated appeal. This hot-vintage wine has a point of sweetness on the close. This is a popular wine seen on the wine lists of local restaurants and taverns. Production is 18,000 bottles. Production is 15,000 bottles.

GIRLAN: 4/5 Trauben [nationale Spitze]
"Die Kellereigenossenschaft wurde 1923 in einem historischen Bauernhof aus dem 16. Jahrhundert gegründet. Hinter diesen Mauern und in den weit verzweigten Kellergängen verbirgt sich jetzt feinste Technologie. Heute sind es rund 200 Winzerfamilien, die 215 Hektar bewirtschaften. 2006 legte der Kellermeister Gerhard Kofler den Grundstein für die heutige außerordentliche hohe Blauburgunder-Kompetenz mit Lagen um den Trattmannhof bei Mazon, womit Girlan inzwischen in der Champions League der internationalen Weinszene spielt."
