Frauenhügel · Lagrein Riserva DOC 2021

Lagrein is the oldest autochthonous grape variety in South Tyrol. It thrives best on the deep, warm soils of Bolzano (Gries) and Unterlandl (Kurtatsch), which are formed from loamy-sandy deposits of rivers and streams. The 'Frauenhügel' parcel is a very warm site directly above the wine road northwest of the village of Kurtatsch. There the Lagrein reaches its optimal maturity and can bring out its full potential.

The 'Frauenhügel' has a seductive fruitiness of wild berries, elderberries, black cherries and cocoa beans. The wine accumulates balsamic tannins during aging in barrique barrels. During the subsequent aging in large wooden barrels, the noble roasted substances and the vital acidity enter into a harmonious union with the powerful fruit body. The best Lagrein is said to show not only concentration and length on the finish, but also an individual earthy note. The clayey soil is responsible for its typical site characteristics, which lend a piquant spiciness to the long, deliciously fruity finish. - Gerardo [TS07/22]

Porphyr · Lagrein Riserva DOC 2021

The rich, impenetrable ruby red color with violet reflections immediately attracts attention. The aroma of this Lagrein selection is multi-faceted and extremely intense. It is characterized by a hint of liquorice, coffee beans, vanilla pod, cloves and black tea. It is both spicy and juicy and fruity, with aromas reminiscent of sour cherries and blueberries. The taste is a harmonious composition with very compact and concentrated, multi-layered aromas. These are characterized not only by juicy fruit, but also by a peppery spiciness and a slightly sweetish bitter chocolate note, rounded off by finely polished tannins. - Gerardo [TS03/22]

"Three selected single vineyards with vines that are almost a century old and therefore provide very concentrated and extract-rich grape material form the basis for our Lagrein selection. The wine is vinified entirely in barriques, which gives the Lagrein Porphyr, which owes its name to the bedrock of the vineyards, a complex and intense nose, but also makes it compact and unmistakable on the palate." - Rudi Kofler

"Rich, deep dark and impenetrable purple. Initially restrained, then opens on the nose with nuances of ripe wild berries, cassis and elderberries, black fruit, savory. Very rich on the palate with mineral undertones, punchy, elegant, tightens up nicely, skillful use of wood, long finish." - Falstaff

Lafòa · Cabernet-Sauvignon DOC 2020

The Cabernet Sauvignon 'Lafòa' is a jewel among the top South Tyrolean wines and enjoys international renown: this red wine, coming from the family vineyard of Luis Raifer, is produced year after year with great care in vineyard and cellar. Deep, violet-red color as well as aromatic bouquet of currants and blackberries. Underpinned by wild herbs and fine wood notes. On the palate, the grippy tannins are noticeable, giving the wine a stable backbone. - Gerardo [TS06/21]

"Powerful bright ruby with cherry red rim. Subtle aromas of ripe blueberries and cassis, plus juniper and cardamom, slightly smoky on the nose with a hint of white pepper. Meets the palate with fine fruit melt, appears very juicy, with velvety interwoven tannin and pleasant creaminess, stoffig, emphatically long finish, great harmony." - Falstaff

"Clear, firm nose of ripe blackcurrants with light smoky, cedary and tobacco wood spice, a hint of mint and hints of black olives. Clear, almost cool, tart-juicy, firmly knit fruit, minty-herbal aromas, some smoke, hints of tobacco and roasted nuances, fine sandy, ripe tannins, persistent on the palate, some bitter chocolate, also peppery traces, then salty minerality, good depth, firm structure, definitely has power, but remains on the elegant side, very good, firm finish with noble juice and fine spice." - Wein-Plus.eu

Probably one of the most authentic and successful interpretations of the autochthonous South Tyrolean grape variety Lagrein. - Gerardo [TS06/22]

Weingarten Klosteranger · Lagrein Riserva DOC 2018

Klosteranger is the heart of Muri-Gries, a historic single vineyard site protected by the ancient walls of the monastery. Here the Lagrein Riserva vineyard Klosteranger thrives in the best terroir: an expressive site wine as a result of an authentic interpretation of terroir and grape variety, concentrated and straightforward. With it we recommend braised game dishes, but also tender roast beef, the classic Sunday roast, a Martinigansl or spicy cheese dishes. - Gerardo [TS06/19]

"Rich, deep dark ruby with violet hues. Very inviting and intense nose of violets and elderberries, then tobacco and dark chocolate. Spreads out great on the attack and course, yet remains supple and juicy, surprisingly fine-meshed tannins, reverberating like a fine cigar box." - Falstaff

"Dark garnet red. The nose is complex, deep with hints of ink, black pepper and sour cherry. The structure is complex but well defined, nervous with juicy tannins and a spectacular progression. A Lagrein of delicacy, balance and unique character." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)
