Here the name becomes the programme: Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg gave this wine its title because it tastes like Manincor itself. The essence of the hills that surround the estate, the view over Lake Kaltern, the strength and warmth of the warmest vineyards in South Tyrol – all come together in this glass. Grapes from Manincor and Panholzerhof, both at 250 metres, south-eastern slopes with sandy clay soils full of limestone gravel and glacial deposits. Lagrein, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon – three grape varieties, one home. Each batch is vinified separately, partly spontaneously with wild yeasts in wooden, concrete and stainless steel vats. Ten days of gentle maceration, only dipped once a day for fine-grained tannins. Matured for twelve months in used wooden barrels of various sizes.

Dense cherry red in the glass. Blueberries, sour cherries, wild strawberries, floral notes of roses and ivy, later spicy accents of liquorice and pepper. Dense on the palate, with firm but fine tannins and a Burgundian flow. A wine that cannot be found anywhere else – because it can only be made here. SUPERIORE.DE

"The red estate wine. A wine that tastes of Manincor; a wine that you won't find anywhere else. The essence of the hills around the vineyard and the lake, full of strength and warmth." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

"Bright blackcurrants, crushed blackberries and blueberries in a fragrant style. Medium-bodied, almost acidic on the palate, firm and chalky tannins and a polished finish. Good length." James Suckling
