Chardonnay – 2025

Cantina Tramin – Chardonnay from South Tyrol

The Cantina Tramin Chardonnay 2025 is a dry white wine from South Tyrol with a fine smoothness. It presents itself in a green-yellow hue. The Cantina Tramin Chardonnay surprises with its delicate elegance and captivates with its floral notes, coupled with spicy minerality. On the palate, refreshing citrus fruit combines with riper notes of pineapple, banana, yellow apple, and pear. This South Tyrolean wine from Cantina Tramin shows refreshing, minerality-driven acidity and good body. It is a versatile food companion, pairing well with richer, creamy dishes such as pan-fried salmon, rösti with mushroom ragout, or chicken in a cream and white wine sauce.

Cantina Tramin – Winemaking

The 2025 vintage began with a mild winter and an unusually early, abundant flowering. The summer was changeable: a warm to hot June was followed by a cool, rainy July, before a very warm August rapidly advanced the ripening of the grapes.

Harvesting started significantly earlier than usual in many places and was short, intense, and demanding. However, thanks to the small holdings of our member families, their great flexibility, and careful hand-picking, the grapes could be brought in at precisely the optimal time.

The red wines of the 2025 vintage are juicy and fresh, some with great aging potential – especially the Pinot Noir shows a lot of depth and development possibilities. The white wines are somewhat lighter than in previous years, with moderate alcohol, lively acidity, and a clear, fruity style.

The Chardonnay vines for this Cantina Tramin wine are grown on calcareous and gravelly loam soils on hillsides between 250 and 550 m above sea level. The grapes were harvested by hand at the optimal physiological ripeness in several passes and brought to the winery in small containers. There, they were destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature (19°C) in stainless steel tanks, where aging, partly with malolactic fermentation, also occurred.
