Nose
Alexander Kalterersee is fruity to the nose, with intense aromas of cherry and violet.
Palate
With its elegant,
soft tannins it offers an exquisite experience.
Growing Conditions
Our Alexander Kalterersee Classico Superiore is grown at an altitude of 350 metres, on the porphyry
bedrock of a south-facing slope below the ruins of Leuchtenburg Castle – a unique location that, combined
with the depth of the soil, allows us to produce an expressive Kalterersee with good shelf life.
Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested and stored in the cellar in small containers. After de-stemming and
fermentation in wooden and stainless steel tanks, they are then matured on fine yeast for 7 months. 70%
of the grapes mature in wooden vats, the rest in stainless steel vats.
