Girlan
White Wines

Wine lovers can always tell when quality has taken precedence over quantity, and when wine-making is dictated by tradition. The grapes for our Premium range come from 40 - 80 year-old vines in absolutely the best sunniest sites. Only fully ripe grapes which have enjoyed a long growing season will do for our Premium range, and for this reason the harvest takes place in late autumn.

Once the grapes have been pressed, our wine-maker concentrates all his skill on transforming the juice into superior quality, noble, concentrated, rich wines.

Some Recent Reviews...

Girlan 2004 Filadonna Pinot Grigio Alto Adige



Delineated crispness, fruitiness and green apple flavors A straight shooter that’s fresh and citrusy in the mouth.

Girlan 2004 Filadonna Pinot Grigio Valdadige



This pinkish-colored wine boasts toasted almond, exotic spice and eucalyptus oil. On the palate, the wine is viscous and spicy, with mustard-green flavors.



“Girlan is presenting a long series of absolutely flawless wines, something not to be taken lightly when the winery produces more than 1,000,000 bottles per year. These are the fruits of efforts by its 230 members and the sure hand of “Kellermeister” Gebhard Eisenstecken. All the wines here are highly reliable in quality and sensibly priced. To sum up, this historic winery has rapidly carved itself a fundamental niche amongst the best producers in the region. “ - Gambero Rosso
