Gojer's estate, Glögglhof, is right in the middle of the St. Magdalena hill, a perfect amphitheater just North-East of the city of Bolzano. Franz, the 5th generation to make wine at Glögglhof, is one of the 'gang of four,' a group of fine small producers from the Alto Adige who share a philosophy of winemaking: very expressive, very typical, very well-made wines.

  • Winemaker: Florian Gojer
  • Variety: 100% Kerner
  • Farming: Sustainable
  • Terroir: Planted in 2008 at 600-650 M, West-Facing, Porphyry (volcanic) soils. Karneid, the vineyard site, is a high-altitude plot on the other side of the valley from the winery. 
  • Vinification: 10 hours maceration, controlled low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel with selected yeasts
  • Aging: Aged in stainless steel for 7 months, 5 months on the lees
  • Tasting Notes: Very aromatic, a distinctive pear-drop nose, with flower notes reminiscent of Riesling (Kerner is a cross between Riesling and Schiava).
