St Michael Eppan Pinot Bianco Schulthauser Alto Adige DOC 2017

One of our most sought after white wines in our entire store is the St Michael Eppan Pinot Bianco 'Schulthauser' from Northern Italy's Trentino Alto-Adige region. This excellent producer always delivers staggering quality, but the recently released 2017 Pinot Bianco is their finest edition ever. The wine undergoes some oak treatment to deliver an opulent, creamy mouthfeel and incredible length. The palate is highlighted by apricots and golden delicious apples and the generous lick of acidity holds it together perfectly

The Italian focused wine writer's from Decanter Magazine and Vinous Media were in awe of the quality produced in the 2017 vintage and like us, when it comes to Pinot Bianco they agreed that you can't go past St Michael Eppan in terms of consistent brilliance.  

''Scented and lightly seasoned orchard fruits and flowers. Fine, delicate and long. This wine is a reference point for the variety and is as good as ever. Will keep too.'' 93 Points, Decanter Magazine

''Fresh and clean white flowers, green apple and minerals on the fresh nose. Then also fresh and vibrant in the mouth, with focused flavors of pomaceous orchard fruit. This lovely wine finishes with an enticing richness and a touch of ripeness that are more obvious than usual in this wine thanks to the hot growing season. The Schulthauser has always been one of Italy’s best Pinot Bianco's.'' 92 Points, Vinous Media
