The estate’s 2006 Gew?rztraminer reveals awesome purity, with exotic aromatics and richly-textured fruit that carries all the way to the long, deeply satisfying finish. This will almost certainly gain weight in the bottle and a few months of cellaring seemed to be called for. The estate’s Gew?rztraminer is proving to be a strong suit. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2011. I was delighted to discover the wines of Kofererhof during a trip to the region last year. The estate is located in the Valle Isarco. Up until a few years ago Kofererhof sold its fruit to the nearby Abbazia di Novacella. The estate manages just under six hectares of vineyards, all of which are planted to high densities. Most of the wines are fermented and aged in stainless steel although a small portion of the Sylvaner and Pinot Grigio are aged in mid-size casks. These are richly, structured, concentrated wines packed with personality. They also offer outstanding quality for the money. The current vintage is 2006 but I also include notes on a few 2005s I was able to taste.Importer: A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
