Eight Hectares, Eight Grape Varieties
At the Pacherhof, the heritage of a wine pioneer is nurtured
Eight hectares, eight grape varieties. Well, this correspondence may well be purely coincidental, but otherwise Andreas Huber at the Pacherhof in Novacella near Bressanone leaves little up to chance. Rather, what reigns here are competence, commitment, passion, and the heritage of wine pioneers.
One
of them was Josef Huber, the grandfather of Andreas who runs the estate
today. Both have wine in their blood, as the Hubers’ Pacherhof in
Novacella has existed since 1142. For his part, Grandpa Josef undertook
quite a number of voyages of discovery on which he came across the
knowledge that for the soils and steep slopes
of the
Valle Isarco, Sylvaner, Pinot Grigio, and Gewürztraminer would be the
most suitable grape varieties. He was the first one to focus on Kerner,
and today the assortment of wines from the Valle Isarco cannot be
imagined without it.
But Andreas Huber does not follow in these
admittedly big footsteps without preparation. He went and got educated
at the Veitshöchheim winemaking school near Würzburg, Germany and
today, with his competence and know-how, he sets the tone in the
vineyard and winery.
Under Huber’s leadership, dry wines are
created today at the Pacherhof in Novacella with a prominent fruit and a
definite mineral quality. “In order for the characteristics of the
vines and the earth to be maintained, we focus on gentle processing and
intentionally avoid maturation in small oak casks,” explains the
winegrower-slash-winemaker.
The legacy of his grandfather is
therefore still alive today, even in the selection of varieties. So
what grows at the Pacherhof in addition to Müller Thurgau, Grüner
Veltliner, and Pinot Grigio are also Riesling and Sylvaner. And, of
course, Kerner. In Grandpa’s name.
