Select Lagrein

Name: Select Lagrein
Brand: Hans Rottensteiner

Alto Adige Gries Riserva DOC

The tradition and modernity of the Rottensteiner family finds its clearest expression in this wine. The processing of this grape variety was learned from the very outset and it is here that it comes to the fore. A significant reduction in yield combined with careful processing in the cellar result in a wine of supreme quality.

Description

The Lagrein is characterized by an splendid aroma of violets, chocolate, liquorice, berries and – after some years – also of tobacco. The maturation of our “Select” in French barrique underlines this fruity character and the – due to very smooth tannins – velvety taste. We are very careful not to have the wooden notes in the first line, but always allow the wine to unfold its full character. The “Select” is recommendable with game and spicy meat dishes, as well as with aged and strong cheese. Lagrein has a good aging potential, at least 5 or 6 years, good vintages even longer. The ideal serving temperature is about 18–20 °C.
