Vinification of Zobl Lagrein DOC - Kellerei St. Pauls

The grapes for the Zobl Lagrein DOC - Kellerei St. Pauls thrive in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Alto Adige subregion in South Tyrol. There, the calcareous soils provide ideal nutrient conditions and contribute significantly to the wine’s mineral character. The ripe Lagrein grapes are carefully selected by hand to ensure only the finest quality. The harvest is timed so that the grapes reach their optimal degree of ripeness, which is clearly reflected in the intensity of the aromas.

After harvesting, the must undergoes controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at moderate temperatures to preserve the fruity and floral notes. The maceration lasts long enough to extract the characteristic tannins of the Lagrein and give the wine its powerful structure. The wine is then matured partly in wooden barrels, adding further spice and complexity while complementing the fruit’s lightness. Bottle aging completes the process and ensures a harmonious, rounded overall impression.
