Franz Gojer Lagrein Granat 2024

Perfect conclusion to a fantastic start to the week, with a delicious Lagrein from Glögglhof in South Tyrol, combining the best of both worlds - strength and elegance. The wine's deep, voluptuous color and layered aromas of blackberry, cherry, plum, leather, and juniper are a testament to its amazing quality. The smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel and mild nuances of vanilla and licorice make it a joy to drink. The wine's dry linger and zesty tanginess leave a lingering impression. A true quality for the price, with a price point of €12. A must-try for any wine enthusiast.

A rich, supple wine with a deep, almost black hue. Its full-bodied structure is polished by a elegant blackberry and vanilla note, at the same time the sensation is rounded by the sweetness of black cherry and the freshness of dandelion greens. The brightness is bright and refreshing, leaving a clean finish. Overall, a silky and enjoyable wine that is easy to drink and pleasing for a casual gathering.

Discovering Alto Adige's hidden gems, I'm thrilled to finally meet the Lagrein grape. This wine's understated charm belies its complexity, with touches of licorice and strawberry ice cream that dance on the palate. The full-bodied feel is surprisingly smooth, with dark plum fruit and a suggestion of sweetness. The finale is enjoyable and easy-going, yet it feels remarkably youthful. A delightful surprise, with a score of 3.5+++++.
