Details of the location

The vineyards extend on slopes facing east to southeast at an altitude of 230 to 260 meters above sea level. The soil consists mainly of loamy sand and limestone gravel.

From grape to wine

The wine is macerated for two weeks at a temperature of 28 °C. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in barriques, after which it matures for 12 months. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.

The wine in the glass

− dark violet-ruby color
− fine, elegant fruit on the nose, reminiscent of ripe berries, bramble and cocoa, woodsy undertones
− dense and creamy on the palate, finely structured tannins with a long finish

The perfect accompaniment

The Lareith Lagrein develops its full potential when paired with game dishes, roasts, dark meat and strong hard cheeses.
