The Terlan winery
Terlan has been a wine-growing area for more than 2000 years. Its position in the shadow of the Tschögglberg Mountain provides a mild, almost Mediterranean climate with hot summer days and cool nights during the maturing period. These conditions are ideal for the growth of wine. Another factor contributing to the excellent quality of grapes grown in Terlan are the red porphyry soils that warm up easily in the sunlight.
At the centre of this ideal winegrowing region the Terlan Winery was founded in 1893. The Winery is a cooperative with over 100 associates, who work together in keeping their rich traditions alive while continuously improving it with innovative elements. The fruits of their careful labour in harmony with nature are aged in modern cellars under strictly controlled conditions.
The Terlan Winery trusts in long standing cultivation traditions and works with the natural conditions in the vineyards. These vineyards, the so-called "Terroir" harbour a large part of the mystic longevity and minerality of Terlan’s wines: the light, extremely porous soil, heats up easily. Combined with the deep growing roots of the vines this leads to a lower quantity but higher quality yield. The plants get their minerality from the soils that are rich in silicium, mostly quartz-porphyry. Due to its soils rich in minerals the Terlan Terroir is often compared to French wine-growing regions. The characteristics of Terlans wines such as the precise fruit and the fine yet intense note lead to experts comparing them with matured champagne vintages.
