This is our entry-level Lagrein, our welcome Lagrein, so to speak. We source the grapes for this wine from three vineyards. Each brings its own distinct nuances—but above all, they represent the history of our winery.
One vineyard is in Gries, west of Bolzano; it was his grandfather's first vineyard. The second vineyard is in Auer, south of Bolzano. Heinrich Plattner bought it, and, as so often, he had a keen nose. There, the Lagrein acquires a wonderful strength that perfectly complements the other two vineyards.
The third vineyard is right next to the estate, arguably the warmest of the three.
Three vineyards, each of which represents a part of the history of the Waldgries estate.
Winemaker's note:
"I ferment 20 to 30 percent of the grapes with the stems, which gives the wine more grip. Before bottling, this Lagrein matures for eight months in large wooden barrels."
