The garnet red colour and a successful combination of three grape varietals give this “Perlhofer” its complexity. The wine impresses with its unique fruit flavours of raspberry, blackberry, sour cherry and wild berries.
Spicy and fruity on the palate, it presents an elegant aftertaste and velvety, smooth structure.
The three varietals in the Perlhofer grow in three carefully selected vineyards. The grapes favour different soil conditions, making the areas in St. Magdalena, the Upper Etsch and the Lowlands particularly favourable. The vines, some of which are more than 50 years old, are trained over trellises and traditional pergola systems and grow at an altitude of 220 – 450 metres.
Due to the different varietals and vineyards, the grapes are handpicked as they reach full maturity during October. The yield is 70 hectolitres of wine per hectare.
Once the selected grapes have been delivered to the winery, they undergo separate, traditional maceration at a controlled temperature of 28°C.
After asamblage (blending) the wine is aged in large wooden barrels.
The Perlhofer is an excellent accompaniment to grilled fish, light meat dishes and cheese.
