For decades, the Porer vineyard on the Margreider alluvial fan has been regarded as the source of Lageder's most refined interpretation of Pinot Grigio. At altitudes of between 230 and 240 metres, where stony, sandy and highly calcareous soil, combined with dramatic day-night temperature fluctuations, creates a unique microclimate, grapes of exceptional complexity ripen. The organic cultivation of this single vineyard follows strict sustainability principles. The secret of the Porer lies in its three-stage vinification: one third is pressed immediately, another portion remains on the skins for 15 hours, whilst the final component is macerated with stems and skins for up to eight months. This orchestrated blend of different textures gives the wine its characteristic tension. Six months' ageing on the fine lees in stainless steel rounds off the complex aromatic profile.

Straw-yellow with greenish highlights in the glass, it unfolds a pronounced bouquet of melon and peach, interwoven with spicy accents and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and full of tension, with lively freshness and an elegant smoothness that leads into a mineral-driven, racy finish. A delicately aromatic Pinot Grigio with notes of exotic fruit and subtle minerality, displaying impressive depth and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"A gently spicy wine with aromas of salt, pepper, apricot skin, flowers and stony minerality. Light- to medium-bodied, crisp and silky, with a savory yet simple palate." James Suckling
