WHO IS
ST. PAULS?
The St. Pauls cooperative winery is located in the village of St. Pauls (San Paolo), a hamlet of Eppan an der Weinstraße, (Appiano sulla Strada del Vino in Italian or “Eppan on the Wine Trail”), a commune located about eight kilometers southwest of Bozen (Bolzano) in South Tyrol (Alto Adige).
With roughly 150 grower members, the cooperative covers 175 hectares planted to vine, with an average of one hectare per grower, making it a true “family affair” since all of the members are family-owned and run farms. With vineyard sites that range from 500-700 meters a.s.l. and a variety of subsoils mostly volcanic and morainic in origin, the cooperative is uniquely positioned to make some of the best and most critically acclaimed wines in South Tyrol. One of the things that makes St. Pauls stand apart from the crowded field of Tyrolean winemakers is that its focus is on native grape varieties.
Although it also grows delicious Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Pauls is renowned for its bottlings of local red grapes like Schiava and Lagrein, varieties not forgotten but often overlooked by commercially minded winemakers there. Although not certified, organic farming practices are the norm for its growers.

What people say?
Almost buttery, very intense white wine. Works great with sea food, but not the most refreshing if that's what you're looking for. honey cream

Vivino
Had a nice minerality and salinity to it, lacking on some fresh fruit notes that would balance it out to a more complete wine on the palate.
