2018 Pinot Grigio Sanct Valentin

The level of consistent quality turned out by the St. Michael Eppan Winery is remarkable, especially considering that they produce 2.5 million bottles a year on average, which are sourced from 350 hectares that are overseen by 355 member-growers. The winemaking team is made up of Anton Zublasing, Günther Neumair and Master Winemaker Hans Terzer. While the house prides itself mainly on their production of white varieties throughout the Sanct Valentin range, they have also had success with Pinot Noir. While you can expect an influence of barrique throughout their higher end wines, it’s impossible to deny their quality and balance. While this combination isn’t often expected from an Alto Adige producer, it fits right in with many of the world’s major and highly successful winemaking regions.
