The grapes are picked by hand in the morning. Short maceration on the press and sedimentation in steel tanks. In order to preserve the freshness, fermentation takes place 100% in steel tanks at a temperature of 16-18°C. The later maturation on the fine yeast took place for about 6 months.

Tasting note
Our Sauvignon from the vineyards in Marling is characterized by elegant grapefruit, fresh lemon peel and nettle. On the palate a pleasant acidity with deep minerality and a nice drinking flow.
LOCATION AND VEGETATION
The grapes for our Sauvignon grow in the Knott vineyard in Marling, at 360 m above sea level. The vineyard, which looks towards Merano, has a slight inclination. The slightly sandy moraine soil consists of granite and slate. Here the vines are pampered and warmed by the morning sun. In the late afternoon the grape zone cools down. This preserves the freshness and the typical Sauvignon taste.

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.
