About the producer
Located deep in the heart of the Südtirol, the Tiefenbrunner Castel Turmhof Estate is
located in the hamlet of Entiklar, which has been settled since prehistoric times. It is
blessed with a centuries-old tradition of winegrowing and the winery itself is named
after the 12th Century castle, Castel Turmhof.
In 1968, Hilde and Herbert Tiefenbrunner began bottling their wines instead of
selling them off premises. Nowadays their son Christof and his wife Sabine run the
winery. They are also fully committed to the winegrowing tradition and the principles
of the Tiefenbrunner Estate remain the same: to preserve the character of the grape
varieties and to grow the highest quality grapes possible. The estate’s wines are
characterised by great finesse and elegance, with their distinct freshness of
character being primarily due to the large differences in diurnal temperature in this
particular region, which creates perfect ripening conditions. Around 70% of their
production are white wines and each parcel of grapes is matched carefully to the soil
type and tended with great care and attention.
