For decades, the Porer vineyard on the Margreider Schuttkegel has been the source of Lageder's most refined interpretation of Pinot Grigio. Grapes of exceptional complexity ripen between 230 and 240 metres, where stony, sandy and highly calcareous soil with dramatic day-night temperature fluctuations creates a unique microclimate. The organic cultivation of this single vineyard follows strict principles of sustainability. The secret of Porer lies in its three-part vinification: one third is pressed immediately, another part remains on the skins for 15 hours, while the last component macerates with stems and skins for up to eight months. This orchestrated composition of different textures gives the wine its characteristic tension. Six months of ageing on the fine lees in stainless steel round off the complex flavour profile.

Straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections in the glass, it develops a distinctive bouquet of melon and peach, interspersed with spicy accents and fine herbal notes. Full-bodied and full of tension on the palate, with a lively freshness and an elegant mellowness that leads to a mineral, racy finish. A fine, aromatic Pinot Grigio with notes of exotic fruit and subtle minerality and impressive depth and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE
