The estate's 2008 Gewürztraminer possesses awesome transparency and nuance without ever coming across as heavy. There is tons of varietal character here, with layers of flavor that caress the palate all the way through to a long finish that resonates with superb clarity and definition. This is another wonderful effort from Kofererhof. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.Kofererhof is located in Valle Isarco, one of the most privileged spots in Alto Adige for intensely focused, mineral-driven whites. Proprietor Gunther Kerschbaumer began estate-bottling his own wines with the 1995 vintage, and since then Kofererhof has emerged as one of Italy's most exciting properties. Unfortunately only a few of the 2008s were in bottle as we went to press, but I hope to be able to taste the rest of the estate's current releases in the near future.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
