The name Arenis is derived from the Ital. 'arenaria rossa', meaning 'red sandstone'.<br /><br />This rock gives the east-facing sand and clay soils their striking colour. The vineyards between 300 and 400 metres above sea level in the South Tyrolean Unterland are not<br />only considered an ideal terroir but also the home of the Gewürztraminer, which is very demanding in terms of location. Due to the greatly reduced vine yield, the Arenis<br />shows a very complex bouquet: roses, lychee, jasmine and exotic spices. A pronounced mineral nerve gives the full-bodied wine a lingering freshness. Arenis is expressive,<br />yet easy to drink and balances perfectly between intensity and elegance.<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Production zone: 300-400 m a.s.l., east, sandy and loamy soils with red sandstone, clay minerals and oxides<br />Vinification: Cold maceration in the press, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel followed by ageing on fine yeast<br />Alcohol: 14.5 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.1 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 4,8 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 60 hl<br />Optimal drinking maturity: 2-5 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />

Réserve della Contessa - the feminine wine.<br /><br />Its secret is fineness and elegance, one almost wants to say noblesse. A white wine of delicate colour and delicate aromas, as if made to accompany festive hours.<br /><br />Grape varieties: Pinot Blanc 60 %, Chardonnay 30 %, Sauvignon Blanc 10 % (Terlaner).<br />Colour: strong yellow with greenish reflections.<br />Aroma and taste: fresh scent of apples, apricots and a hint of sage.

LR 2012<br />'The creation of an exclusive wine, capable of delighting discerning customers and strengthening the reputation of Schreckbichl' was Luis Raifer's idea.After several years<br />and several experiments in the choice of varieties, LR was born. Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon and Gewürztraminer, aged on the fine yeast and matured in wood,<br />merge into a cuvée with remarkable structure and elegance. All this combined in a unique packaging. The outer shell: Unique in elegance and sophistication.This year's<br />image in the bottle depicts the 'youthful Bacchus' and is attributed to the Caravaggio school around 1600. Bacchus reaches for the grape, the 'materia prima', without<br />which this unique wine would not exist. The grape and the wine are united in the bottle. In between are other dimensions, from the harvest to the fermentation process to<br />the ripening, and what else can resonate and stimulate beyond the wine.<br /><br />Description: Strong straw-yellow colour, a fruity hint of exotic scents. On the palate, the wine presents itself with great structure and character.Ageing potential: 8-10 years.<br />Serving temperature: 12-14°C.<br />Grape variety: Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon and Gewürztraminer.<br />Vineyards: selected vineyards at an altitude of approx. 400-550 m above sea level.<br />Yield:35 hl/ha<br />Vinification: after a gentle pressing, the wine ferments and matures in oak barrels, followed by one year of bottle ageing. The wine is only put on sale 3 years after the<br />harvest.<br />Analytical values:<br />Alcohol: 14,20%<br />Total acidity: Vol5,7g/l<br />Sugar-free extract: 22,80g/l<br />

Grape variety: Pinot Blanc<br />Denomination of Origin: Alto Adige DOC<br />Altitude: 500-700 metres above sea level<br />Orientation: south-east<br />Area: Above Nals, in Sirmian, the exposed slopes lie between 500 and 700 metres above sea level with a south-east orientation. The soil is a permeable moraine deposit<br />consisting of limestone, gneiss, mica, slate and marble, formed millions of years ago by glaciers of the Vinschgau Valley and lies on porphyry, the primary rock of the<br />bedrock.<br />Climate: the alpine climate with mild summer and cool autumn months causes the longer vegetation period and the late harvest in mid-October.<br />Vinification: the grapes are harvested by hand. After a short maceration period, the clarified must ferments for about 3 weeks in 12 hl and 30 hl wooden barrels. The young<br />wine then matures for a further 8 months on the fine lees.<br />Colour: bright straw yellow, beautiful depth.<br />Aroma: pineapple, pink grapefruit, kiwi, fresh hay, a hint of thyme.<br />Taste: compact, full-bodied, spicy and with salty length.<br />Food recommendation: Spaghetti with sardines, fish soup, spelt dumplings with grey cheese.<br />Serving temperature: 10-12° C<br />Storage recommendation: cool at 10-13° C and min. 60% humidity.<br />

Grape varieties: Chardonnay 96%, Viognier 4%<br />Site and soil: Half of the grapes come from TerlanLiebenAich and half from Kaltern Mazzon. LiebenAich is a warm, west-facing slope at 300 m above sea level. Chardonnay<br />and Sauvignon are grown here on loamy sandy soil interspersed with porphyry weathered rock.Chardonnay and Viognier on Mazzon form our steepest vineyard, the so-<br />called Leiten with up to 100% slope. Exposed to the south-west at an altitude of 350 -400 m above sea level, with calcareous, loamy loess soil, this steep slope offers a very<br />special micro-climate.<br /><br />Vinification: The destemmed grapes remained in the press for four hours to extract the aroma and structure from the skins. The pressing process was very slow and gentle,<br />because finesse is our highest maxim. Fermentation took place in wooden barrels of various sizes, spontaneously with the grape's own yeasts. During the nine months of<br />ageing on the fine lees, the aroma and flavour refined.<br />Bottling: 19,200bottles were filled in June 2020.<br />Data:<br />Residual sugar: 1.1g/l<br />Alcohol: 13,5% Vol.<br />Acidity: malolactic fermentation 6,7g/l<br /><br />Description and drinking suggestions: Bright yellow in the glass.

Riesling<br />Sauvignon Blanc<br /><br />TWO SOULS<br />The two heads of character, Riesling and Sauvignon, combine in the Enosi (Greek for union) to form an unusual cuvée. In a balanced battle, the two wrestle closely for the<br />upper hand. The wine impresses with its fascinatingly changeable personality and makes opening each bottle an exciting surprise.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />Separate vinification of the two varieties, partly spontaneous fermentation, eight-month ageing on the fine lees in wooden or steel barrels.<br /><br />SITUATION / SOIL<br />Höfl unterm Stein in Söll near Tramin is situated on a south-eastern slope at 480 to 550 m above sea level.
