About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes were harvested from vineyards at 600–700 m above sea level. Mineral-rich soils, a cold Alpine climate and a long growing season extending well into autumn contribute to the wine’s aromatic intensity, flavour and fruit acidity.

Vinification

The grapes were picked in late October 2008. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 20 °C, using traditional methods.

Ageing

The wine was bottled in April 2009 and then rested for three months in the monastery cellars.

Tasting profile

Intense aromas and flavours are accompanied by appealing fruit acidity.
