Lagrein Tauris 2021 - 12,5% vol. Weingut Kränzelhof
Description:
The Pinot Noir "Aton" expresses timeless finesse and elegance. The wine presents itself a strong ruby red in the glass. Subtle notes of black berries, a hint of licorice and finely smoked notes define the bouquet, combining power and supreme elegance in this exceptional wine. With density, black berries, and minerality, combined with fine and fresh tannins, the “Aton” convinces on the palate with a spicy, long finish. An elegant Pinot Noir full of character, produced with the utmost dedication and detailed effort to do justice to this noblest of varieties with uncompromising quality.
With a limited number of only 2,700 bottles produced, Elena Walch's highest expression of Pinot Noir appears:
"Aton", after the ancient Egyptian sun god who rose above all other divine beings in the representation of a solar disc.
As an abstract idea and spiritualised concept, Aton is the source of light and life.
Grape variety:
Pinot Noir - South Tyrol Alto Adige DOC Riserva
Production area:
The grapes of the Pinot Noir Riserva Alto Adige DOC "Aton" come from the selection of the best grapes in middle and higher altitudes between 400 and 600 m above sea level. The vines, which are up to 61 years old with greatly reduced yields, are located on both sides of the valley in Glen and Barleith and benefit from the complex, predominantly clay and limestone soils with traces of marl. The higher the mountain profile, the more light, sunshine hours and freshness reach the vineyards. Long hours of sunshine in a fresh climate and large temperature differences between day and night result in a Pinot Noir of great elegance with a fresh and expressive presence. The selection of the two highest quality plots in an ideal combination of orientation and altitude allows for higher phenolic grape ripeness without excessive sugar content and a natural medium to high acidity that distinguishes the "Aton" Pinot Noir Riserva with structure, elegance and finesse. "Aton" sends you on a unique sensory journey that invites the senses to discover its personality. A journey that tells the story of South Tyrol and delights lovers of Pinot Noir.
Vinification:
Hand harvesting takes place at the beginning of September, followed by gravity-fed and extremely gentle grape processing in a new, state-of-the-art fermentation cellar. The grapes were gently transferred to the small fermentation tanks as whole berries in a small "cuvon" to preserve the fine structure and quality of the harvest in its natural form. This was followed by a 5-day cold maceration and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 23°C for a further 15 days in small steel tanks. After 12 months of ageing in French oak barriques with medium toasting, the wine rested and matured in steel tanks for a further 11 months. This slow and gentle processing respected the original quality of the grapes and, following the same principle, the wine was finally bottled in August, 2 years after, without filtration to preserve its exceptional structure and maintain its natural colloidal composition. During the subsequent 15 months of bottle ageing, the "Aton" Pinot Noir Riserva will quietly reveal its wide range of potential until it is released in October (after 4 years of ageing). This Grande Cuvée can achieve a considerable lifespan, during which the wine matures and develops.
