Ansitz Waldgries

«Lagrein Mirell is the product of an uncompromising approach combining concentration, tannins and especially elegance. It is often said that Lagrein cannot be so elegant, but with old vines and minimum yields I prove that the opposite is the case.» Christian Plattner

“The grapes for this wine are meticulously handpicked and sorted. With a cold maceration of approximately twelve hours, I give the wine an extra boost of strength and fruitiness. Fermentation and ageing in oak provide it with even more structure and length.”

A new expression of an exceptional terroir! Pinot Noir vinified in white

«I want my Lagrein Riserva to be expressive. So I work with low yields and long maceration periods.» Christian Plattner

Sauvignon Blanc from Waldgries is like the mountains of the Alps: a crisp, fresh and minerally wine that reveals what lies in the terroir of Appiano Mountain.

The cru site delivers wines to be remembered. In very special years. Meditation wine.

The Waldgries Pinot Blanc is like stratified mountain rock: mature, full, salty, long, deep. In a word: complex. «I want my Pinot Blanc full-flavored, complex and slightly more mature. I’m not so keen on the green and steely variant, and so I give the wine more time to develop. I wait eighteen months before releasing the wine for sale.»

A special sweet wine. «I want the wine dense, aromatic and elegant and enjoy it best with poppy seed strudel, gingerbread and sweets with bitter chocolate.» Christian Plattner

The St. Magdalener Classico of the Waldgries winery seduces with its charming character! The noble red wine combines 92% Edelvernatsch and 8% Lagrein and makes the glass glow ruby red. It rises a harmonious bouquet of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, underlined by the finest almond notes. The palate also continues harmoniously, which the St. Magdalener captivates with its elegant tannin structure and its racy body and only lets go in an impressive finale. St. Magdalener Classico is the ideal companion to Italian starters, sausages, bacon platters and cold antipasti.

Autochthonous and self-assured. A little big wine and a regular in our Lagrein range since 1973. Lagrein is a highly distinctive variety. «My standard Lagrein is allowed to be itself but still attains a convincing elegance.»

Antheos goes back to the origins; as in the past, it unites eight historical Schiava varieties. Like we human beings, these ancient grape varieties are the product of history. They have experience, strength and maturity. «At the last minute I decided to replant the long-lost field blend from the time of my great-grandfather – not to rewrite history but to combine it with the present and the future. The result is this highly individual Magdalener.»
