The 2020 Kellerei Terlan Nova Domus Terlaner Riserva is a white wine produced in the Alto Adige region of Trentino Alto Adige, Italy. This proprietary blend consists primarily of Pinot Bianco (70%), complemented by Chardonnay (25%) and a touch of Sauvignon Blanc (5%). The wine is bottled with a cork closure and has an alcohol content of 14%.

Decanter awarded this wine a score of 94, noting its "exuberant aromas of apricot and yuzu mingling with incense, alpine herbs, and a hint of sweet spice." The review highlights the chalky minerality that supports the lees-driven buttery flavors and fleshy orchard fruits, creating a wine with "considerable volume" and "long-running tension." The finish is described as "gorgeously vibrant," outlined by white pepper and iodine.

James Suckling gave the wine an excellent score of 96. He described it as having a "rich and complex nose" with notes of "glazed peaches, ripe mangoes, crushed walnuts, and pie crust." The wine's full-bodied nature is paired with a "tense and mineral" character and a "chalky texture that adds structure and length." Suckling praises its "beautiful acidity" that leads to a "long, energetic finish," making it suitable for drinking now or holding for future enjoyment.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated the wine at 95, emphasizing its unique representation of the Alpine Italian wine territory. The reviewer, Monica Larner, pointed out the blend's "light spice, saffron, toasted cumin, apricot, baked apple, and candied orange peel" notes. She remarked on its "big and creamy" mouthfeel, likening the wine's weight to that of a red wine. The presence of sweet fruit makes it a versatile pairing option, even suggesting it would complement a Moroccan chicken tagine with preserved lemon.

Overall, the 2020 Kellerei Terlan Nova Domus Terlaner Riserva is a complex and highly rated wine. Its blend of varietals and vibrant flavors make it a distinctive choice among white wines from the Alto Adige region.
