Our finest sites in the Manincor estate, at the “Seehof” and “Panholzerhof”: south-east facing overlooking the Lake of Kaltern at an altitude of 250 – 280 m above sea level. Rich soils consisting of sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel and morainal debris.

2023 was a challenging year with far-from-easy climatic conditions. Thanks to dedication and meticulous attention to detail, we ultimately achieved excellent results. Our vines coped well with both the wet
spring and the hot, dry summer, while the golden
autumn brought perfect ripeness.
Physiological ripeness, sugar maturity and acidity are
in ideal balance. Ripe fruit, a cool character and moderate alcohol define the vintage.
Harvest took place from late September to midOctober, with Tempranillo, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet
Franc, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon picked
successively. Physiological ripeness was nearly perfect, with sugar and acidity levels in an ideal range. A
vintage of exceptional balance and finesse. Yield
amounted to 48 hl/ha

Each batch was vinified separately. Fermentation took
place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in wooden vats. Maceration lasted between 10 and 20 days,
depending on the variety. In line with our philosophy,
the focus was on finesse and elegance.
The wine was aged for 18 months in barriques, half of
them new. Blending of the individual wines took place
only shortly before bottling.

Bright, full cherry red. On the nose the wine is reminiscent of ripe cherry, liquorice and wild herbs; the smooth, ripe tannins give the wine an especially harmonious mouth-feel with tangy fresh herbs on the finish.
Enjoy at optimum maturity from 2026 to the end of 2034.
Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °F; in its youth the wine will benefit from decanting; savour from medium-large Bordeaux glasses.
It is an excellent match for venison and game, well-seasoned red meats and piquant hard cheeses.
