H.Lun Sandbichler Lagrein Riserva 2021, 0,75 L

There’s no doubt: Lagrein is the red flagship variety of South Tyrol – and with the Sandbichler Riserva, H. Lun demonstrates just how much depth and character this local grape can achieve. Its origin is already clear in the glass: dense, dark, and intense.

On the nose, a vibrant interplay of aromas unfolds – cassis, dark berries, roasted notes, coffee, and a delicate touch of fresh eucalyptus. This creates an impression that is both pithy and invigorating. The palate confirms the promise: juicy fruit, recurring cassis and roasted flavours, balanced by lively acidity and firm tannins. The result is a wine that is at once powerful, elegant, and full of energy.

The 2021 vintage is considered one of the finest in recent years in South Tyrol. Wines from this year display remarkable juiciness, fresh acidity, and excellent ageing potential. This Lagrein Riserva captures exactly that character – inspiring to drink now, yet structured to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.

At H. Lun, the Sandbichler line represents the highest quality: only the best grapes are selected, and new barriques are used to add depth and complexity. The outcome is a Lagrein Riserva that stands as one of the region’s true benchmarks.

Culinary pairings are equally versatile: robust dishes such as red meat, game, or grilled specialities are its perfect companions. With a little air, it already offers great pleasure today – and promises even greater excitement with time.
