Traditional wines the organic way<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cPeople who come from South Tyrol usually return at some point. It was no different for me. I love the land and the people. And our local wines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture in our part of South Tyrol is almost always synonymous with wine growing. The region has many self-made wineries, wine estates and cooperatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2011 we decided to switch from farming to wine growing at the Rynnhof, and right away we knew that we would be guided by biological and organic principles. We converted production slowly but steadily, and now the fruit from our apple trees and berry bushes is only available for our family and guests. Our vision for our wine has always been classic and authentic, but with a touch of originality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only form of agriculture we considered is organic farming; this is an investment in the future. We spend a great deal of time in the vineyards and we want to continue living and working in a healthy, unblemished natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We focus on the four South Tyrolean classics: Pinot Blanc, Gew\u00fcrztraminer, Schiava (Vernatsch) and Lagrein. Depending on the quality and quantity of the grapes in a given year we sometimes try something new, like a cuv\u00e9e, a ros\u00e9 or a riserva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favourite time in the vineyards is when the plants are growing and everything is blossoming and budding to the sound of buzzing and beating wings. It is very important for us to live peacefully and mindfully, in harmony with nature: that\u2019s why we grow our grapes using organic methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Winemaking process<\/strong>
We start the manual harvest of our white wine grapes early in the morning. Then we quickly bring the cool Gew\u00fcrztraminer grapes to the cellar, where they are macerated for around 8 hours in an oxygen-free environment and then gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Ageing also takes place in stainless steel tanks, without malolactic fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasting notes<\/strong>
Our Gew\u00fcrztraminer is an aromatically fruity white wine, with an unmistakable aroma of tropical fruits as well as roses and cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. In the glass it has a delicate golden yellow colour. It is complex on the palate with a long finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food pairings<\/strong>
Gew\u00fcrztraminer goes very well with shellfish, spicy meat dishes, mature cheeses and Far Eastern cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winemaking process<\/strong>
We harvest our red wine grapes by hand. They are then de-stemmed (the berries are removed from the stalks) and go into stainless-steel tanks where the mash can ferment. We age the wine in oak barrels for 12 months, than in steel tanks for at least 16 more months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasting notes<\/strong>
Lagrein is a strong, fruity red wine with a ruby to dark garnet colour. Its aroma has notes of ripe blackberries but also violets, with fine spicy notes of dark chocolate and tobacco. It has a velvety palate with a lightly astringent finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food pairings<\/strong>
Lagrein pairs well with hearty game dishes, red meat and hard cheeses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Winemaking process<\/strong>
The grapes of the individual varieties are harvested separately. They are then de-stemmed (the berries are removed from the stalks), and once the grape skins have been macerated for a few hours, they are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wines are blended before bottling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasting notes<\/strong>
Our Ros\u00e9 is a fresh, fruity wine with a coral red colour. It has aromas of raspberry and gooseberry, rhubarb and a delicate almond finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food pairings<\/strong>
Our ros\u00e9 is an excellent aperitif and pairs well with starters, smoked fish and white meat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
