Alois LagederChardonnay

Chardonnay was introduced to Alto Adige by Archduke Johann as early as 1835. It has since become a key variety for our winery. The calcareous gravel soils around Magrè provide the ideal growing conditions for this grape – this was a significant factor in our grandfather’s decision to purchase the Löwengang Estate in Magrè back in 1934.

Alois LagederLÖWENGANG Chardonnay

The Löwengang Chardonnay has played a major role in the success of the wine estate and in establishing Alto Adige's status as a quality wine region. In the 1980s it became the first white wine from the region to be successfully positioned at an international level. The vineyard comprises several smaller plots, which every year react differently to the influences of the local climate. It is our task to respond accordingly and combine them in such a way that a new masterpiece is created with every vintage.

Alois LagederPINOT GRIGIO

Pinot Grigio, also called Grauburgunder or Pinot Gris, is currently the most commonly cultivated white wine variety in Alto Adige. The sites subject to Mediterranean influences around Magrè and Salorno have predominantly chalky soils with a high sand and gravel content and are perfect for cultivating this grape variety from the noble Pinot family.

Alois LagederVERSALTO Pinot Bianco

With the VERSALTO Pinot Bianco, we play with contrasts. The grapes are cultivated in areas with greatly varied climatic and geological characteristics. Some are from the Bassa Atesina, marked by calcareous soils and a Mediterranean climate, while others originate in the Merano region, notable for its volcanic rock and Alpine climate. The vineyards are predominantly located over 550m (1,804ft) above sea level, embracing the concept of “verso l'alto” (Italian for “upwards”).

Alois LagederMIMUÈT Pinot Noir

Mimuèt means “to my taste” in Ladin, one of the three official languages of Alto Adige. We firmly believe that Alto Adige offers ideal conditions for the cultivation of Pinot Noir grapes. Therefore, given these advantageous conditions, this variety is a significant focus for us. Our objective is to produce wines that exude freshness and precision. To achieve this, we play with cooler vineyard locations and focus on timing the harvest just right, when the grapes are still crisp and full of life. We intentionally avoid using shrivelled, overripe berries and include the whole grape, stalk included, in the vinification process. This gives our Pinot Noir the necessary freshness and vibrancy.

Alois LagederGAUN Chardonnay

With the GAUN Chardonnay, we focus on salinity and tension. A portion of the wine is fermented while in contact with whole grapes, incorporating tannins from the skins and stems to accentuate its freshness. The wine’s name harks back to the 17th century and pays homage to the Gaun family, the original owners of the Löwengang Estate.
