Raised in its native vineyards
Lagrein Rubatsch
2022
Colour and aroma which tell of blue woodland berries, velvetiness and length which causes us to forget time. Made from the native Lagrein grape.
Grape variety
Lagrein
Site and soil
Two-thirds of the total come from the “Rubatsch” site at Terlan and one third of the grapes are grown in the “Seehof” site at Kaltern. Rubatsch is a south-west facing site at an altitude of 250 m above sea level where the soils consist of sand mixed with eroded porphyry rock, while the Seehof site overlooking the Lake of Kaltern is likewise situated at an altitude of 250 m with soils comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel. Rubatsch yields wines of subtlety and elegance, while the body and structure derives from the Seehof soils.
Vintage
2022 gave us a lot of pleasure as winegrowers. An early year, warm in summer, with sufficient and well-distributed rainfall, cool nights and sunny days in autumn. High physiological maturity, intense aromas, crisp acidity, balanced alcohol. Best conditions for long-lived wines with tension and nerve.
At the beginning of October, we harvested our Lagrein. The yield per hectare was 51 hl.

Winemaking
The fermentation with the skins took place in opentop oak vats started by yeasts naturally occurring on the grapes. Over two weeks the skins were pushed down into the fermenting wine daily as they rose to the surface, enabling us to gently extract colour and tannins. The young wine matured for sixteen months in barriques, of which one in five was new, during which time it developed mellowness and harmony.
Bottled
13,500 standard bottles and 280 magnum were filled.

Description and food recommendations
Opaque purple in colour. An aroma of dark woodland berry fruits with ripe plum, elderflower syrup and liquorice provide an indication of the complexity this wine will attain with maturity. On the palate it is muscular, velvety and concentrated with assertive but ripe tannins.
Enjoy it at optimum maturity from 2024 to the end of 2029.
Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °C; in its youth it will benefit from decanting; serve in large Bordeaux glasses.
It is an excellent match for braised and quickly-fried meats, especially game and venison dishes and cheese.
