The Blauburgunder DOC “Praesulis” 2022 from Gumphof is a refined Pinot Noir from South Tyrol’s Eisack Valley. Grown on limestone moraine soils at 400–550 m elevation, it benefits from a climate moderated by warm Ora winds and cool alpine nights. Hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel, with partial oak ageing to enhance depth and finesse.
In the glass, it shines with a bright ruby-red hue and violet highlights. The nose reveals cherry, plum, subtle spice and elegant wood tones. On the palate it is dry and structured, featuring lively acidity, smooth tannins and a distinct mineral finish. A graceful, food-friendly wine that pairs beautifully with poultry, duck, delicate game and savory vegetarian dishes.
