Fermentation over roughly 10 days with subsequent acid degradation. The wine matures for 20 months in French barriques, before being bottled and aged for a long time in bottles.
Our tasting note
A deep, dark ruby-red colour characterises the Lagrein Riserva Castel Ringberg. Complex, fruity-tangy aromas of red berries and plums, dried figs, including some chocolate and a light smoky note. This fantastic grape demonstrates its quality by means of robust tannins and a distinctive, strong structure in connection with smooth, soft richness. A refined interplay between juiciness and bite and a long- lasting finish.
