Morit Sankt Magdalener 2016

Ruby red with purple rim. Intensely fruity nose: cherries, strawberries and forest fruits, hints of green bell pepper and black pepper. Good acidity and light and soft tannins, long finish. It is eminently enjoyable with grilled fish and meat, full-flavoured cheeses and cold platters of sliced meats, or on its own for social drinking.

The county of Bolzano was divided in 1090. The eastern half fell to the Counts of "Morit" and included the territory of today's municipalities of Gargazon, Terlan, Bolzano, Leifers, Ritten etc. The Counts of Morit left their castle Morit and built the castle Greifenstein (Sauschloss) above Siebeneich. Since ancient times the Rhaetian and later the Tyrolean wine was highly appreciated by the Romans and in the German speaking countries.

Ideal with South Tyrolean Speck, cheese and grilled fish. Because of its seductive lightness it's also perfect as a solo entertainer!

An Exciting Year for Both Reds and Whites The capricious summer of 2016 posed a good many challenges to Alto Adige winegrowers: aside from a few hot summer days, there were numerous wet days with above-average rainfall. This required a great deal of attention and diligence in the vineyard. The growers had to exercise great care. What was necessary was a very precise observation of the vines as well as targeted measures, such as cluster division. All of that meant hard work and a particularly large amount of effort in the vineyards. (Südtirol Wein)
