An unusual blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco and Gewurztraminer. Your first thought might be that this won't work but you'd be very wrong! It regularly receives the top awards in Italy as well as 90 plus points from Wine Spectator and the Wine Advocate. An aromatic and compelling bouquet with volume and depth. 

'Another great wine is a white blend known as Stoan, a melange of Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Bianco and Geuwurztraminer. Full-bodied with complex aromatics and distinct spice, this wine receives aging in large casks – no small oak barrels here – and is a beautiful wine that can acompany a variety of dishes from seafood to risotto to pork.'

The 2010 vintage was very good for Cantina Tramin:  a mostly mild climate throughout the year made for excellent growing conditions. An extended period of hot temperatures between June and July helped to curb an excessive fruit set, therefore lowering yields in the vineyard. In the cellar, the low yields resulted in a must composed of small berries, concentrated and rich in extract. By late summer, however, cool nights and noticeable changes in temperature positively affected  the maturation of the grapes through harvest, allowing the development of excellent wines in cask. Cantina Tramin’s 2010 white wines are pleasantly fruity, fresh and show traditional character, while the reds show fine elegance and generous body.

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate: 91 points

“The 2010 Stoan is a blend of 60% Chardonnay, 22% Sauvignon, 11% Pinot Bianco and 7% Gewürztraminer. The aromatic varieties play a leading role, while the Chardonnay seems less dominant than in some previous vintages. Although it is delicious, in this vintage Stoan isn't materially more complex than the estate's more modest wines. Today the 2010 comes across as classy and understated. White peaches, flowers and spices are layered into the attractive finish.”
