This Vernatsch Mediaevum from winery Markus Prackwieser Gumphof comes from the southern Eisack Valley, at the foot of the Schlern massif. The vines grow at elevations of 400 to 480 meters above sea level on calcareous moraines over solid quartz porphyry – steep vineyard sites that give the wine freshness, clarity and a fine Alpine character.
After a short cold maceration, the Vernatsch ferments for around one week in stainless steel tanks. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and 8 months of aging in stainless steel. In the glass, it shows delicate cherry aromas, complemented by fine red fruit and a fragrant, light character. On the palate, it is soft, juicy and approachable, with rounded tannins and a fruity, fresh finish.

Winery Gump Hof
Winery Gump Hof in Völs am Schlern is a historic family winery first documented in 1546 and owned by the Prackwieser family for over 200 years. Since 2000, Markus Prackwieser has managed the estate with experience, patience and a spirit of experimentation. On the steep slopes of the southern Eisack Valley, wines are created that reflect the landscape at the foot of the Schlern massif and the distinctive signature of the winemaker.
The vineyards lie at elevations between 400 and 800 meters and benefit from Mediterranean influences during the day as well as cool downdrafts from the Dolomites at night. Calcareous moraine soils over Bolzano quartz porphyry, careful handwork and traditional cultivation methods form the basis for multi-layered wines with freshness, spice and elegance. Weissburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir and Vernatsch in particular reveal their distinctive character here.
