While the blend is the same as the Cuvee Terlaner, this wine is made from barrels selected usually from the older vine plots. It shows a lot more of the Chardonnay and ultimately the Pinot Bianco in the blend than the Sauvignon Blanc.
97pts Stu Piggot
This is a very linear white with tension and acidity that kicks off at the end, giving it fantastic energy and length. It’s medium- to full-bodied with sliced pineapple, lemon and green apple before a vibrant finish. Then there’s lemongrass and tarragon undertones. Complex and complete. 60% pinot bianco, 30% chardonnay and 10% sauvignon blanc. Better after 2025 but already exciting to drink.
95pts Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of warmed pears dusted with spice, delicate white flowers, and the zest of lemon, lime and kumquat. Invigorating acidity leads the way on the palate with pristine orchard fruits lifted by citrus oils, fresh herbs and a distinct flintness that culminates in the rejuvenation of not just the palate but the soul. Drink now–2045. Cellar Selection

The 2021 Terlaner Riserva Cuvée Nova Domus lifts up with an airy bouquet that blends ground ginger with dusty dried flowers, crushed green apples and spice aromas. This washes across the palate with silky textures and ripe orchard fruits. Sour citrus notes add contrast, guided by brisk acidity. The 2021 finishes full of youthful tension and lightly tannic, leaving a spicy sensation and a bitter lemon rind tinge that class the taster back to the glass.
Our Tasting Note: Chardonnay comes out more on the nose and palate initially and with air the Pinot Bianco really shines and comes to the fore. I sat with a glass of this at my desk for about an hour after the tasting. If you love Vorberg, you will really love this, especially if you are a White Burgundy or chardonnay fan. Initially primary orchard and citrus fruit, toast from the oak, quite pronounced and evolving in the nose. More integrated on the palate, this shows excellent minerality to the core, more citrus like lime over Meyer lemon, with Fuji apple and Bosc pear. A touch of herbaceousness early on (hello sauv blanc!) and some creamy notes simultaneously, though the sauv blanc traces fade out after 30 minutes as the Pinot Blanc takes over. Med bodied, med+ acids (thanks to only partial malo), med+ excellent density and electric flavors that light up from the vibrant acidity, long, classy finish reminds be of Burgundy but comes back to being more Vorberg like with air and time in the glass.
Variety: 60% Pinot Bianco,30% Chardonnay,10% Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaking: Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in big oak barrels (30 hl); partial malolactic fermentation (Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay only) and aging on the lees for 12 months in big wooden barrels; blending three months before bottling.
