Ripe wild blackberry, cassis, and stewed damson plum, framed by roasted coffee beans, dark cocoa, pipe tobacco, cedar, dried mountain herbs, and a savory hint of black olive and licorice.
Full-bodied, dense, and enveloping without feeling heavy. The concentration of dark berry fruit is balanced by a taut alpine acid vein and seamless, fine-grained oak tannins. Finishes dry, mineral, and persistent with lingering notes of bitter chocolate, vanilla bean, and graphite.
Single-hill site "Grafenleiten" at 330 m a.s.l. with south-facing exposure. Glacial moraine gravel combined with deep alluvial deposits to the west. Warm amphitheater basin protected from northern winds, allowing late-ripening Lagrein to achieve full phenolic maturity. Traditional Pergola training.
100% selective hand harvest in small boxes during early to mid-October. Rigorous sorting of small, loose-clustered Lagrein grapes.
Bottled in dark olive-green Bordeaux bottles with natural cork closure.
Gentle destemming, classical temperature-controlled mash fermentation for ~9 days in stainless steel with gentle punch-downs. Full malolactic fermentation. Certified Organic (since 2024).
Aged for 18 months in small French oak barrels and barriques (partly new and second passage), followed by extensive bottle aging prior to market release.
Impenetrable, deep ruby-red with dark violet and black reflections.
Braised beef cheeks, roasted venison loin with juniper berries, South Tyrolean lamb shank, rich wild boar ragù, traditional Speckknödel, and aged alpine hard cheeses (e.g., Bergkäse, aged Piave).
