Lagrein DOC Elena Walch...
VARIETY<br />100% Lagrein<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />Traditional temperature controlled fermentation of about 10 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in French and Slavonian oak barrels of 70 and<br />22hl. Maturation in large wooden barrels.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES<br />Our Lagrein Elena Walch gleams invitingly with its intensive and dense garnet red colour. The complex bouquet captivates with discreet spicy aromas, with cocoa together<br />with wild berries and sweet cherries in the background. Distinctive tannin structure, smooth fullness, playful yet rustic elegance and youthful freshness as well as a long,<br />juicy finish classify the palate.<br /><br />TERROIR<br />Warmer sites on calcareous soils with clay and sand on both sides of the ridge, southeast and southwest facing. Severe selection employed.<br /><br />VINTAGE 2023<br />We are delighted with an interesting 2023 vintage! Even though we have experienced a challenging growing season with alternating warm and cool periods with some rain,<br />we have had a fantastic harvest season with the best possible weather conditions for ripening. After a midsummery June and July, followed by high rainfall at the beginning of<br />August, the grapes were able to benefit and ripen for a long time from the optimal conditions with plenty of sunshine. Harvest began late in early September with ideal<br />weather conditions which were only replaced by more unstable weather towards the end. Warm daytime temperatures and cool nights allowed the grapes to reach optimum<br />ripeness with balanced acidity levels and clear fruit, and good structure.<br /><br />FOOD PAIRING<br />Full-flavoured, savoury dishes such as venison, game, red meat or mature cheeses.<br /><br />Appellation: Alto Adige DOC<br />Alcohol: 13,50 % Vol.<br />
