Grape variety: Pinot Noir
Description: Satin red with garnet reflexes. The bouquet is complex reminiscent of strawberry and raspberry with hints of liquorice, while on the palate it is enveloping, succulent with assertive but mellow tannins.
Vineyard site: Mazzon near Kaltern at an elevation of 400 m above sea level, a moranial south-facing light slope with excellent ventilation (important for Pinot Noir).
Soils: Loamy with limestone debris, the clay content increasing with depth.
Harvest period: Early to mid September: the grapes are rigorously selected to ensure only the healthiest and ripest go into this wine.
Winemaking: The fermentation starts spontaneously in open wooden vats with yeasts occurring naturally in the vineyards, during which the skins are kept submerged by hand. The new wine is drained off and the skins are gently pressed two weeks after the end of the fermentation. Malolactic fermentation ensues and the wine is matured for 10 months in barriques (70 % new); the unfiltered wine is subsequently bottled where it refines for two years.
Serve: Cool, 16 - 17 °C
Best enjoyed: As the highlight of a banquet, with game and mature red mould cheese, or savoured on its own in completive moments.
Allergic-Info: This wine can contain sulfites
