This is very much an
experimental wine and is
the farms first effort to
make an organic white
wine to partner the
acclaimed Ladybird red.
The Chardonnay and
Viognier were
co-fermented in oak
barrels and then the
Chenin was blended at the
time of bottling. The
wine has good dimensions
of nuts, white peach and
hints of paw-paw and a
fresh aroma. Expressive
on the palate with a
lingering aftertaste.
Almost a creamy acidity
makes this an incredibly
appealing dry white wine.
NOTE. This wine is not
yet officially certified
organic but will achieve
this status in the next
few years.

Cultivation of Lagrein in
Alto Adige usually
results in the tannic red
wines Lagrein Scuro, or
Lagrein Dunkel, or the
fragrant rosé wines
Lagrein Rosato, or
Lagrein Kretzer. Lagrein
produces wine which has
high acidity and low pH
and Bortolotti have taken
these qualities to
produce a soft fruity
sparkling wine, with
hints of violet. A clear
foam and perlage with a
toasted almond aroma.
Delicately balanced and
light in acidity, this
garnet coloured wine is a
shining example of the
quality you can expect
from Bortolotti.
