K White IGT 2023

Origin

Der Lagrein ist eine der drei autochthonen Rebsorten in Südtirol. Er ist mit dem Teroldego und dem Syrah verwandt. Charakteristisch für die Sorte sind die dunkelrote Farbe und die fruchtigen Beerenaromen, die gepaart sind mit würzig-harzigen Noten nach Schokolade, Tabak und Waldboden.

Vintage

The 2023 winegrowing year was characterized by changeable weather and the resulting increased work in the vineyard. A snow-deficient winter and a warm March accelerated the start of vegetation. A typical April and a rainy May led to flowering close to the long-term average. June was unstable, with heat waves and drought. July brought a lot of rain coupled with some very hot days. Despite extreme temperature fluctuations in August, a golden autumn brought us a successful grape harvest with very good grape qualities overall.

Tasting notes

– pale yellow with green reflections
– fruity accents of apricot and pineapple and hints of flowery elderberry
– fresh and juicy with a smooth finish

Recommendation

K White is a wine with which to welcome spring, for warm summer evenings spent on the terrace, or for spontaneous meals with friends. Aromatic, fruity, fresh and clear – just like a breeze from the Dolomites.
