Lagrein, genetically related to Syrah, is the oldest autochthonous grape variety in South Tyrol. In the hot, deep vineyards in the south of South Tyrol, the heat-loving Lagrein<br />finds its suitable habitat.<br />The FRAUENHÜGEL has a seductive fruitiness of wild berries, elderberries, black cherries and cocoa beans. The wine is enriched with balsamic tannins during ageing in<br />barrique barrels. The noble roasted aromas and the vital acidity are harmoniously combined with the powerful fruit body. The clayey soil is responsible for its typical terroir<br />characteristics, which lend the fruity finish a piquant spiciness (liquorice) and its individual earthy note.<br />FRAUENHÜGEL: the powerful one.<br /><br />Grape variety: Lagrein<br />Vinification: Temperature-controlled fermentation in red wine tanks and ageing in French barriques for 12 months.

STEINRAFFLER<br />VIGNA LAGREIN<br /><br />A wanderer between worlds. On the one hand dense and concentrated and almost rustic in a pleasant way, it nevertheless reveals a certain elegance. The colour is deep<br />dark and garnet red with an almost black core. The bouquet reveals a mixture of earthy-mineral and spicy notes. The initially delicate fruit develops increasingly in the glass<br />and is reminiscent of dark, ripe plums. On the palate, the spice components continue, with the finish gaining in complexity due to the mineral notes that emerge once again.<br /><br />This grape variety, unique to South Tyrol, finds very good growing conditions in the vineyards of our Steinraffler winery. Here, in 1990, we planted the short-stemmed Lagrein,<br />a variety that had almost fallen into oblivion in South Tyrol, grafted it onto weak-growing rootstocks and grew it on wire frames. The rebirth of this old, autochthonous red wine<br />variety represents for us a happy combination of tradition and innovation.<br /><br />In South Tyrol, only the 'Vigna' classification guarantees the origin of a site wine.<br /><br />Grape variety: Lagrein<br />Soil: Loam and sandy soils<br />Vinification: After delivery, the destemmed grapes enter the fermentation tank. After a short maceration, the mash is fermented for about 10 days.<br />Maturation: It matures for 15 months in small oak barrels, another 7 months after the assemblage in large oak barrels and at least 12 months in the bottle.<br />Food recommendation: Red meats, game, mild cheeses.<br />

MECZAN PINOT NOIR<br /><br />The Meczan is a very varietal Pinot Noir, which is characterised above all by its softness, its distinctive fragrance and its clear fruity character.<br />It has a vivid ruby red colour with slight garnet reflections. Fresh, animating bouquet with seductive notes of wild berries and cherries.<br />On the palate, the Meczan presents itself very harmonious and distinctly juicy with intense fruit notes.<br /><br />Pinot Noir was first successfully cultivated in Trentino-South Tyrol at the beginning of the 19th century.<br />It soon became apparent that the gentle hills and the special microclimate of the high plateau in Mazon offered the ideal conditions for producing Pinot Noir of international<br />calibre.<br />Meczan<br />Hofstätter Classification<br /><br />Grape variety<br /><br />Pinot Noir<br />Soil<br /><br />Conglomerate of clay, limestone and porphyry soils.<br />Vinification<br /><br />75% of the grapes are destemmed, 25% enter the fermentation tank intact. Fermentation lasts about 10 days, during which time the must is kept in constant contact with<br />the grape skins.<br />Food recommendation<br /><br />Accompanies noble poultry, roasts, pasta dishes with meat ragout.<br />

Porphyr<br />Riserva<br /><br />'Three selected single vineyard sites with vines that are almost a century old and thus provide very concentrated and extract-rich grape material form the basis for our<br />Lagrein selection. The vinification takes place entirely in barriques, which gives the Lagrein Porphyry, which owes its name to the bedrock of the vineyards, a multi-faceted<br />and intense nose, but at the same time makes it compact and distinctive on the palate.'<br />Rudi Kofler<br /><br />Wine<br />Region of Origin: South Tyrol - Italy<br />DOC Area: South Tyrol<br />Variety: 100% porphyry<br />Yield: 42 hl/ha<br />Orientation: South - Southwest<br />Slope: 0 - 5<br />Altitude: 250 - 270 m<br /><br />Vinification<br />Harvest and grape selection by hand; destemming of the grapes followed by slow maceration at controlled temperature and gentle maceration in stainless steel tanks;<br />malolactic fermentation and ageing for 18 months in barriques.
