2011 Alphart Rotgipfler PUR 0,75 Liter

The Alphart Rotgipfler PUR 2011 is a distinctive white wine from Austria’s Thermenregion, crafted from 100% Rotgipfler, a rare indigenous grape, by the Alphart family. This 2011 vintage displays a deep gold hue and a complex nose of ripe pear, quince, and citrus zest, with hints of almond, spice, and subtle chalky minerality. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of honeyed complexity. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity, this wine showcases the limestone-rich terroir of Thermenregion. Perfect with seafood, roasted poultry, or spicy Asian dishes, it offers a refined dining experience. With over a decade of aging, it is at its peak, displaying mature fruit and nutty notes, and can evolve further over the next 5-7 years. This Rotgipfler is a collector’s gem, highlighting Alphart’s expertise in crafting unique Austrian whites with character and depth.
