A really interesting blend of chard, gewurztraminer, pinot blanc, and sauvignon blanc. The nose shows grapefruit, very sauvignon. A hint of funky slate on the nose as well; very light nose overall. Slightly green notes on the palate with a bit of richness and a good acidity. A bit mineral, a bit savory; different, but doesn't quite come together for me. 86-87

2007 Kellerei-Cantina Tramin Alto Adige (Italië, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Alto Adige - Südtirol) Kleur: Licht goudgeel Aroma / bouquet: Ingetogen en subtiel, maar toch voldoende complexiteit. Fris en bloemig aroma, mooie mineraliteit in combinatie met citrusfruit en passievrucht. Smaak / Afdronk: Frisse en sappige aanzet, prachtige zuren. Tegelijkertijd licht-filmend en geconcentreerd zonder ook maar iets tè zwaar te zijn. Indrukwekkende lengte en al zeker in combinatie met zoveel fraicheur. Algemeen / potentieel: Prachtige combinatie van 60% Chardonnay en 11% Pinot Bianco, gegist op eiken, alsmede 22% Sauvignon en 7% Gewurztraminer gegist op staal. De eerste twee verzorgen de 'body en de power', de tweede de aromatische en frisse kwaliteiten. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 15 + Algemeen / potentieel: 7 = 89/100

Nice deep golden color. Aromas of honey, apple, bananas, walnut, and melon. Full-bodied, with spicy fruit flavors and a long lively finish, but slightly bitter . Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. - JD88

This bottle wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the previous two.

After giving a bottle I drank 5 months ago a 93, this bottle had an appetizing bitterness.

The four grapes' wines combine perfectly into an aromatic, dry and soft bottling.
