Vinification
Tasting note
The freshness in the wine is a surprising contrast to the fruity sweet bouquet. A wine with a great variety of flavours. The aroma is reminiscent of gooseberries and intense citrus, complemented by the light
scent of freshly mown grass. The taste is dominated by the harmonious minerality paired with a pleasant acidity.
LOCATION AND VEGETATION
The grapes for our selection, Sauvignon „Stein“, grow at an altitude of 520 m at the southernmost point of the estate. The grapes thrive here on a slope sloping slightly south between two large rock formations. Due to the large amount of rock and the given microclimate, our selection has a great depth and minerality. The grape‘s growth in semi-shade and the great difference in temperature between day and night give us both exotic and greenish notes with a salty and long finish.

Eichenstein Vineyard
Cellar
The family of Josef Waldner, owner of the winery, have been making wine for 350 years. The origin of winemaking at the Eichenstein has its roots in Marling, where the dedicated wine lover created his first white wine cuvée “Gloria Dei” in 2005. In 2006, he followed on with his “Baccara” Marlot and Cabernet Franc red wine cuvéè, assisted and advised by renowned enologist Hartmann Donà. In 2007 Josef Waldner further realised his vision when he established the Eichenstein vineyard on the Freiberg, from 550-600 m, above Meran. In 2014, the crowning jewel of the vineyard was built: The wine cellar, a vinarium and a guest chalet. And in 2018, the most recent porphyry plot was established at 500 m above sea level.
