South Tyrol 2013

After our wine trip to South Tyrol in 2011, the wish to repeat it soon arose – so in 2013 we headed there again. Five wineries were on the programme, all different but each one an experience in itself! Another experience was certainly the tour at Tiefenbrunner through the garden with its many sculptures – not everyone’s cup of tea, but great fun.

At Elena Walch we had a wonderful tasting in the garden, which remained vividly in our memory; at Lageder we burst into a film shoot in front of the winery and, after the tasting, rummaged through their treasure chamber with wines from other wineries. At Manincor, Countess Goëss-Enzenberg led us through the wine cellar and conveyed her philosophy of biodynamic viticulture. Castel Salleg was unknown to us until then, but we were very taken with the wines and the good value for money.
