Castel Juval Blauburgunder Riserva 2023 - 12% vol. Unterortl Castel Juval Winery

Description: 
The wine is a fruity, juicy and classic Pinot Noir. It smells of cherries, blackberries and black currants. It is elegant in the mouth with a delicate tannin aftertaste. 

Grape variety: 
Pinot Noir - Alto Adige DOC Val Venosta 

Production area: 
The grapes grow in the small vineyards "Tafel," "Knott" and "Sonnenleiten" in Juval, located further down the valley at about 630-700 meters above sea level and thus more sheltered. Air currents in the slope favor a favorable climate for this delicate variety. 

Vinification: 
In the winery they let the grapes ferment inside stainless steel barrels, manually separate the skins from the berries, and let them rest on the marc for a few weeks. They age the young wine in oak barrels and large acacia wood casks. 

Food pairing: 
Recommended with lamb, vegetable dishes and grilled fish. Especially enjoyable when enjoyed after five or six years. 

Serving temperature: 
16 - 18°C. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 8 years. 

Bottle size: 
750 ml - 75 cl - 0,75 lt. 

Allergens: 
wine can contain sulphites.

Castel Juval Unterortl Winery 
An estate winery also lives from strong personalities. The Castel Juval Unterortl Estate Winery in Castelbello at the entrance to the Val Senales has three at the same time: the king of mountain climbing, Reinhold Messner, is the owner, and Gisela and Martin Aurich run it as tenants. Three heads for one estate winery, so to speak. While Reinhold Messner most likely needs no further introduction, in the context of his estate winery it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the Aurichs. They have dedicated themselves to wine and distilled spirits since 1992. In the Castel Juval Unterortl Estate Winery, they are responsible for 30,000 bottles that are produced here year after year: Müller Thurgau, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir, whose very particular character is passionately looked after by the Aurichs. As their credo goes, in the end it should be possible to taste the characteristics of the grape variety, the soil, and the microclimate.
