Südtiroler Weiss Riserva DJJ

Unforgettable, strong, versatile, and conﬁdent. That’s how Josef Sölva was – the founder of Weingut Niklas. Our reﬁned cuvée made from Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Kerner shows these same qualities.

It’s a mineral wine with depth and aging potential, capturing the character of our alpine vineyards and grape varieties. This Cuvée Riserva brings the essence of our winery – the grapes, the soul, and the quality – straight into the glass.
