Winemaker Notes
Manni Nössing is a winemaker with idealism and stubbornness. He comes from a family that manages a farm called "Hoandlhof"; wonderfully located on a hill above the city of Bressanone. The farm originally lived from livestock farming. This is now history.
The winery was founded in 1999. In the Eisack Valley, wine cooperatives and large wineries have a long tradition, yet Manni Nössing decided to produce his own wine, relied on origin and character from the outset, on an independent style and individuality. Soon he was called a rebel.
In 2003, his first Kerner came onto the market and was awarded three glasses by the most important Italian wine guide. Success has continued since then. Today, he produces Sylvaner, Riesling, Veltliner, Müller Thurgau and an excellent Kerner on six hectares.
In Nössing's tasting room at the Hoandlhof, winegrowers, wine experts and visionaries meet regularly for exchange. From this point of view, he is no longer a rebel, but one of the driving forces in the Eisack Valley, according to the motto "This is the only way to create wine culture." A process of knowledge that was only put into practice by visionaries like Manni Nössing and promotes the previously missing individuality.
Müller-Thurgau is a white grape variety created by Hermann Müller in the Swiss Canton of Thurgau in 1882. He crossed Riesling with the table grape, Madeleine Royale, following an ambition to make a delightful drinking wine from an easier-to-grow vine than Riesling. When done right, Müller-Thurgau is a full-bodied, floral white with a refreshing, crisp quality. Somm Secret—Worldwide, Müller-Thurgau is one of the most widely planted of the new breed of grapes created since the 19th century.
