The name “Selida” comes from Old High German and means “small farmstead”, a tribute to the longstanding culture of smallholdings that still constitute the strength of Cantina Tramin.
Tasting notes:
This wine has an intensively shining golden yellow colour. It demonstrates a wealth of aromas including roses, lilies, spicy flowers, dried herbs, and ripe exotic fruits such as lychee, mango and passion fruit. In the mouth, Selida is rich in body and extract with finely spiced juiciness.

With its effusive nose of yellow roses and the full and silky yet fresh and dry palate, this is a classic modern Alto Adige gewurz. Light- footed and full of Alpine freshness at the long finish. Drink now.

Pouring from a tall and slender bottle, the Cantina Tramin 2021 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Selida is very floral with night-blooming jasmine, mountain flower and tuberose. Mid-weight in texture with waxy tones, it offers honey and fuzzy peach. That floral sweetness is followed by a pinch of sea salt or crushed quartz. With time, savory notes of dried sage and mountain herb also appear. Fruit is harvested from a steep terraced vineyard, and this value wine is aged in steel for five months. ML Dec 2022
