The body of this cuvée is well structured, with blackberry, blackcurrant, a little tobacco and a hint of tar. Fine tannins lead into a long and juicy finish. Great ageing potential! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby colour with a dark core and fine rim. Elegant, dark bouquet of blackcurrant, with a hint of paprika and fine wood spice. Velvety on the palate, firm tannins, precise fruit and a long finish." Falstaff
"This is a creamy and spicy red blend that has plums, vanilla, chocolate, oranges and mint on the nose, as well as some smoked paprika. It is medium to full-bodied, rich yet bright, with powdery tannins." James Suckling
"The 2021 Linticlarus Cuvèe Riserva is unobtrusive and restrained. A bouquet slowly rises from the glass, combining sage and orange shavings with redcurrants and a hint of white smoke. This juicy and round wine has a core of lively acidity that perfectly balances the depth of ripe raspberry and blueberry fruit, while silty tannins gather towards the end. On the long and structured final, the 2021 leaves behind a primary concentration as a bitter hint of tart blackberry fades." Vinous

South Tyrol is different. With the Tiefenbrunners anyway. No one else has three hectares of vineyards at 1,000 metres above sea level. No one else grows Müller-Thurgau at such altitudes. No one else has such a Müller-Thurgau, which is often mistaken for Riesling in blind tastings. And no one else names such a dream wine, which is awarded annually worldwide, after a field marshal of the Austro-Hungarian K & K army.
One could probably go on for a while with "No one else..." or at least with "hardly anyone". Because there is a lot that is unique here. From the vineyards, which range from 250 m above sea level up to 1,000 m and are divided among three neighbouring villages: Entiklar, Kurtatsch and Margreid (Niclara, Cortaccia e Magrè) and which, due to their respective location, soil composition and microclimate, also result in the logical wine lines of the Tiefenbrunner family. There is no vineyard that does not have a massive rock towering at its end.
At lower altitudes on the right bank of the Adige, loamy soils dominate, alluvial soil of former glaciers, with a variety of rocks that the rivers Eisack and Adige have washed out of the mountains into the South Tyrolean lowlands over the centuries. In the medium-high area already rocky subsoil, partly volcanic, calcareous, granite and weathered dolomite with fertile mixed soil overlay and mild climate, for which South Tyrol is known, but with strong cooling at night by the wind from the nearby Dolomites and Alps, which characterises this clear freshness and fruit of the wines of South Tyrol.
In the high, significantly cooler sites, there is often only an earth layer of less than one metre above the rock of marble, porphyry, granite, lime and dolomite, which is why the yields are often ridiculously low, but a wonderful minerality brings finesse to the wines.
"Nature sets the pace for us. We adapt to it and dedicate a site to each variety where it can develop in the best possible way," explains Christof, the fifth generation of the Tiefenbrunner family to run the winery in the magnificent Castell Turmhof with his wife Sabine since 2000. There are countless grape varieties in South Tyrol. In the unique Castell Turmhof winery, where even stone vaults from the 12th century are still used, Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Pinot blanc, Pinot gris, Vernatsch, Lagrein, Cabernet-Sauvignon, as well as the specialities Goldmuskateller and Rosenmuskateller ripen for a total of 29 labels in four wine lines.
Incidentally, the top wine of the house is named after Baron Franz Philipp Fenner von Fenneberg, who was actually born on the Fenneberg, where these unique grapes grow today.
"Distinctiveness and fashion trends are not compatible. That's why we press wines that can be clearly identified by their expression and character. They have their own clear personality: matured over time and shaped by origin and history." With this credo, which produces many quite different wine specialities, the family and the team around Christof perfectly continue the legacy of father Herbert Tiefenbrunner, one of the pioneers in South Tyrol's viticulture.
For almost half a century, 40 independent small winegrowers from about 45 ha have also been supplying the Tiefenbrunners with perfect grapes from "hand-worked vineyards". This is also something you hardly find any more. The fact that they generate their own electricity in a small hydroelectric power station, which their grandfather built around 1900, comes as little surprise. When an Italian journalist, exhausted after scrambling in the mountainous vineyards and overwhelmed by all these unique impressions, wrote his notes over fresh white wines and a board with bacon and cheese in the "snack station" (what an understatement) in the enchanting picturesque castle courtyard, he chose as his headline: "I am in paradise".

"Son Christof, a personality of rare discretion, is responsible for the elegant, delicate and never overdrawn wines, all of solid structure, expressive and always attentive to the characteristics of the grape varieties and different terroirs." Gambero Rosso
