After a further 6 months in steel tanks the wine is lightly filtered and bottled. After a total of two years our red wine with the Riserva status on sale.

Tasting note

Merlot gives the „Baccara“ fullness and suppleness, Cabernet Franc gives it structure and spice. The result is an elegant, harmonious red wine.

LOCATION AND VEGETATION

The naming of our red wine was inspired by a well-known rose. In 2004 we planted the vines for our red wine Baccara in the sunny south-east location of Wartegg in Marling. The grape varieties Merlot and Cabernet Franc are grown here on medium-heavy, slightly clayey and mineral-rich slate soil. The Wartegg vineyard site, with a slope inclination of approx. 35%, gets a lot of morning sun due to its south-east orientation, thus warming up especially in the first half of the day and then cooling down again towards evening. The cool nights preserve the fresh fruit and the pleasant acidity in the grapes.

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.

Josef Waldner

We want our wines to have a stirring soul. That’s why we we strive to create authentic, charismatic wines that live on in your memory. Josef Waldner’s passion for grapes and wine stems from a long family tradition.
