Story: St. Magdalener | Classic
St. Magdalener is made predominantly from the local Vernatsch grape. An addition of a maximum of 10% Lagrein is permitted and has tradition. The St. Magdalener wine is characterized by its ruby to garnet red color, which tends to brick red with age. Its aging is consistently dry, but it always remains supple and balanced in its content of tannin and acidity. Its typical taste and bouquet is delicately reminiscent of bitter almonds and impresses with finesse and delicacy. With age it gains in floweriness and balance. St. Magdalener has an alcohol content of at least 11.5%, an acidity of at least 4 and a dry extract content of at least 22.
Traditionally, St. Magdalener is cultivated as a mixed blend, which means that the Vernatsch grapes in the vineyard already contain about five percent Lagrein grapes, which are then vinified together. Nowadays, however, it is usually a cuvee in which Vernatsch and Lagrein are grown and vinified separately, and the two base wines are then blended together. - Gerardo [TS06/22]
"For me, Vernatsch is a great grape variety that receives too little attention. It is an excellent food companion - but it just does not fit the fashion of dark, heavy red wines." - Graf Franz Pfeil
"In fact, however, only 30% of South Tyrolean wine comes from a single grape variety: the Vernatsch (ital: Schiava). It is spread over almost the entire cultivation area and yields a velvety, light red wine that enjoys great popularity in South Tyrol as a classic 'Törggelwein' and abroad as an inexpensive 'Zechwein'. Depending on the origin or Cuvee, it also comes on the market as the so-called St. Magdalener." - Dr. Jens Priewe
