About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the company's own vineyards in the Val Venosta valley, at 600–750 m above sea level. The vines are 15–20 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested only when they reach optimal ripeness, then gently pressed at the winery. Fermentation is spontaneous, in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

Six months on the lees follows fermentation.

Label / history

The wine belongs to the "Graf von Meran" range from Merano.
