"A clean, light-bodied white, with a creaminess to the flavors of green apple, mandarin orange and persimmon. Subtle hints of lychee and spice add an exotic quality, and this is tangy, with a stone-tinged finish. A delicious sipper for summertime drinking."

"Lightly smoky, with a waxy edge to the crisp and clean-cut flavors of dried apricot, bergamot and chamomile. A hint of almond shows on the finish."

"The 2009 Elda (old-vine Schiava) is the most delicate and sensual of the Nusserhof wines. Sweet, silky tannins support an expressive core of red berries, rose petals, wild herbs, crushed flowers and mint. Hints of licorice and exotic spices develop in the glass, adding further complexity and nuance. A long, polished finish and the wine’s overall sense of harmony elevate the Elda to a rarified air among Alto Adige reds."
