Nose
Its bright color prepares for the scents of various wild berries; blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants.
Palate
It is full-bodied on the palate and with its velvety tannins gives the connoisseur a strong and persistent finish.
Growing Conditions
On the south-western slopes between S. Justina and S. Magdalena on deep, dry sandy river gravel or moraine protective soils with good humus content; sea level approx. 300 m, slope inclination from 20 – 70%.
Pergola and trellis in transverse terracing. We practice sustainable cultivation and orientate ourselves as far as possible to the principles of organic farming.
Harvest
The lagrein grapes are picked by hand.
Bottling
The wine gets bottled about 10 months after the harvest.
Winemaking
The hand-picked Lagrein grapes are de-stemmed and after a cool maceration (20 -26°C) for 10 days, they finish their sugar breakdown within about 10 days without the pomace. Further refinement and maturation also takes place in steel tanks, whereby we deliberately use simple cellar techniques (aeration, sedimentation, heat and cold input, filtration) in order to maintain the unaltered character of the location and vintage.
Aging
After botteling follow 4 months of bottle aging.
Appearance
It has a deep garnet red color.
Food Pairing
Fits above all to strong meat dishes, especially to game or elegantly frames an evening in pleasant company.
