Elevated 600 meters above sea level, the Vernatsch grape finds its upper limit for growth. However, in the embrace of old vines with naturally low yields, small, concentrated berries, and a sun-drenched south-facing slope, something truly magical happens. It's here, in the heart of the vineyard that Franz Gojer Vernatsch Alte Reben fully matures into a wine that captivates the senses.
Every step of the winemaking process is an art form in itself. Hand-picked grapes, transported with care, and gently processed. Slow, controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with repeated racking ensures the wine's purity and character.
As you pour a glass of Franz Gojer Vernatsch Alte Reben, you'll be greeted by a vigorous ruby-red hue. The wine unfolds with fruity and floral notes, a delicate dance of sour cherry and almond nuances. In your mouth, you'll experience the wine's signature high-altitude personality—juicy, with a stimulating acidity and crunchy tannins. It's a sensory journey that mirrors the magic of the terroir.
