Nusserhof

Gloria Mayr is now fully in charge of her family's historical winery, which is located right in the middle of Bolzano. The same day that I visited, Mayr had officially signed the documents. Nusserhof fans need not to worry about this change of guard, as Mayr is incredibly open-minded and was raised in these vineyards and cellars. What’s more, the only transformations spoken of are ones that will bring back more traditional approaches to their processes, such as refining half of the production of their Bl.te.le on the skins to lengthen its aging capability. Together, we tasted through a number of older vintages that showed just how well these wines can mature over time. While tasting the 2012 Teroldego, Mayr commented on how the wine (made with 30% whole clusters) had aged and then mused about how this might be a technique to reintroduce, considering how well the wine was showing. As for the new release, the 2015 Gloria is utterly spellbinding. This wine is only made in vintages that the family considers superior. The next vintage will be the 2020. The 2019 Lagrein Riserva was another big standout. I tasted it next to the 2011 vintage, which has matured into a towering example of what Lagrein can achieve. I left feeling reassured about not just the future of Nusserhof but its past as well. I expect we will see many more great vintages from Gloria Mayr in the future.
