Sylvaner Kofererhof 2025

The Sylvaner from Köfererhof is a South Tyrolean product that comes to life in a historic reality with centuries of winemaking experience. The Isarco Valley provides the backdrop for the vineyards and the estate, giving the grapes an unmistakable elegance. The history of the winery dates back to 976 AD and today represents the oldest winery in South Tyrol; over time it has seen the succession of different managements and various winemaking styles; today Günther and Gaby Kerschbaumer represent the third generation of a family of expert viticulturists. Their goal is to enhance the great potential that nature offers, respecting every phase of growth and development of the vine plants and the raw material for an excellent and unique final product.

The vineyards of the Sylvaner from Köfererhof take root in morainic soils with a mix of sand, slate, and granite, a perfect combo for expressing mineral notes and a strong, inviting personality in the wine. The altitude is about 600 meters above sea level. The climate is characterized by harsh winters, often affected by significant snow phenomena and mild but sunny summers; the temperature swings between day and night are important for the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The grapes are harvested by hand; fermentation takes place in large barrels. It ages for 6 months on the fine lees

The color of the Sylvaner from Köfererhof is a straw yellow with bright reflections. The aromas recall ripe white-fleshed fruit such as peach combined with kiwi and plums; pleasant also are the notes of summer white flowers; on the palate it is fresh, mineral, and easy-drinking with a generally pleasant balance that invites glass after glass. It pairs excellently with fish cooked in stew or grilled and smoked salmon; also great with fresh cow's milk cheeses. Perfect for formal dinners with work colleagues or to be shared on family celebrations for anniversaries or special occasions.
