Grape Variety
This red grape variety can be vinified as a rosé wine (Kretzer) or as red wine (Dunkel), and we obtain thereby 2 completely different wines: Lagrein kretzer is fresh, but savoury, with a good structure and it should be drunk young. The red wine is full bodied and fruity, and it will keep well for a long time.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested at the end of September, de-stemmed and crushed and the juice is kept in contact with the skins for about 12-24 hours. The must is then separated from the skins, and it undergoes the fermentation as a white wine, at the temperature of 19/21° C, to preserve the flavours and the freshness of the wine. It ages in stainless steel tanks until the following springtime.
