The "Cantina Terlan" winery is located in the municipality of Terlan in the Adige Valley (Province of Bolzano) in the Italian wine-growing area of South Tyrol ( Trentino-Alto Adige region). It was founded in 1893 by 24 winegrowers. The winegrowers' cooperative has 150 members who cultivate a total of 190 hectares of vineyards. Georg Eyrl is the president, Rudi Kofler is the responsible cellar master. Since 2008, the Cantina Andrian has belonged to the Terlan W inery, where strictly separate grape reception and vinification have taken place since 2009. In the vineyards of the members of the Terlan Winery, the white wine varieties Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Lagrein, Merlot and Schiava Grigia are processed. The wines are produced as DOC Südtiroler and Terlaner. The strictly controlled quality criteria in the vineyard are low yields with processing only healthy, physiologically fully ripe grapes. The high mineral content and the barrenness of the soils give the wines structure and freshness as well as longevity.
The cellar tradition is characterised by historical ageing in wooden barrels. The "sur lie" ageing method also plays a special role; the wines are often left on the fine lees for years before bottling. The total capacity of Cantina Terlan is 30,000 hl. Of this, 13,000 hl are in stainless steel bar rels, 2,200 hl in large wooden bar rels and 1,000 hl in barrique barrels. The wines are produced as DOC Südtiroler and Terlaner. The product range is divided into the lines Tradition, Selection, Terlaner I Grande Cuvée and Rarity. The latter are special bottlings of mature white wines with a storage potential of at least ten years. For the Rarity wines, outstanding vintages are selected according to the "Stocker method" which mature for 10 years to decades on the fine lees in the legendary Terlan Rarities Cellar.
The Terlan Winery has always focused on white wines from the three grape varieties Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grown on quartz porphyry soils. The flagship of the winery is the "Terlaner", a historically grown white wine cuvée from these three grape varieties. Other premium wines are Quarz Südtiroler Terlaner Sauvignon Blanc, Terlaner Riserva Nova Domus and Vorberg Südtiroler Terlaner Weißburgunder Riserva. On average, between 400,000 and 500,000 bottled wines are stored in the winery. This also includes the legendary, extensive wine archive of around 100,000 bottles of wines from all vintages from 1955 to date; the oldest bottle dates back to the founding year of 1893. The most important sales market is Italy, followed by Germany, the USA, Switzerland and Great Britain.
