KOFERERHOF WINERY
Weingut Köfererhof is one of Italy’s smallest and best white wine producers. Just about any grape variety owner Günther Kerschbaumer touches turns to gold. Over the years, he has fashioned remarkably delicious and age worthy wines from the likes of Sylvaner, Riesling, Kerner, Müller-Thurgau and other varieties.
Acquired and managed by the Kerschbaumer family since 1940, the Kofererhof estate has existed in southern Tyrol, a region that is more Austrian in spirit than it is Italian, for over 850 years. In 1995, the winery started to bottle its own wines after having sold its fruit for years. Kofererhof’s few hectares of vines are located at the base of the Dolomite mountains between 700 and 800 meters above sea level. At this high altitude, the variation in temperatures from day to night is ideal, and the carefully tended, high-density vineyards yield intensely fragrant, concentrated and well-balanced wines. Farming practices are currently of low environmental impact but tend toward organic.
The Kofererhof Muller-Thurgau 2021 is planted in Morainic soil (Soil that has an accumulation of boulders, stones and other debris carried and deposited by a glacier) with vines that average 25 years of age, or older. Most of the vines are 750 meters (almot 2500 feet) above sea level. Vinification and aging occurs instainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of the delicate aromas. A scant 650 caes are produced
