Tradition · St. Magdalener DOC 2022

  The “Tradition” St. Magdalener from the Terlan Winery is an elegant tribute to the famous South Tyrolean wine-growing region of St. Magdalena—an area whose name is synonymous with light, characterful red wines. This classic cuvée, made predominantly from Vernatsch with a proportion of Lagrein, combines the indigenous grape varieties of the area with the typical soil composition of the local porphyry and moraine slopes. The grapes are harvested by hand, gently processed, and matured in large wooden barrels, giving the wine a stylish balance between its profile of origin and drinking pleasure.

In the glass, the “Tradition” St. Magdalener displays a deep ruby red color with bright reflections. Its aroma is characterized by fresh cherry and elderberry fruit, interwoven with delicate violet notes and a hint of bitter almond—classic signs of its region of origin. On the palate, the fruitiness combines with a soft, harmonious structure, moderate tannins, and a noticeable but not dominant minerality, creating a wine full of finesse and accessibility. It pairs excellently with regional specialties such as smoked bacon or hearty appetizers, but is also enjoyable on its own in the evening. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
