About
Weingut Eichenstein

The winery is located in the municipality of Merano Merano in the Italian wine-growing area of South Tyrol ( Trentino-South Ty rol region) with a view of the Texel Group to the north, the Etsch Valley to the south and Merano Merano. The family, rich in tradition, has been growing grapes for 350 years. In 2014, a new wine cellar, a vinarium and a guest chalet were built amidst vineyards. The winery is run by Josef Waldner. Martin Pollinger has been responsible as farm manager and oenologist since 2018.

The vineyards are located at 300 to 600 metres above sea level and cover around six hectares of vineyards. In the Merano sites (4 hectares), the grapes grow on porphyry quartzite and granite soils. In the Marlinger sites (2 hectares) on moraine soils of slate, gneiss and granite. They are planted with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Vernatsch (30%) and with the white wine varieties Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc ( 70%). A high plant density in trellis training ensures low yields with high-quality grapes. The vineyards are cultivated according to the principle of sustainability.

After manual harvesting, the grapes are vinified according to variety. Depending on the wine type, the wines are matured in stainless steel tanks, in barrique bar rels or in large wooden barrels. White wine grapes are gently pressed. The white wines are fermented at a temperature of approx. 18 to 20 °C, the young wine remains on the fine yeast or full yeast for several months. The destemmed red wine berries are traditionally macerated for about three weeks in contact with the berry skin. After completion of the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fer mentation (biological acid reduction) takes place in barriques. They are then aged for 12 months, and up to 24 months for selection wines, before being bottled and marketed. The house's product range includes DOC South Tyrolean and IGT Mitterberg. Premium wines include the red wine cuveé "Baccara" made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, as well as selection wines Seppeleia (Chardonnay Riserva) and Stein (Sauvignon Blanc).
