Step by Step
The Kobler Wine Estate has grown one piece at a time
Step by step to their own wine: at the Kobler winegrowing estate in Magré,
it has been shown how an estate winery can grow with a great deal of
patience, lots of diligence, and the necessary consistency. The step
toward making their own wine, which the Koblers took in 2006, was only a
logical one. And certainly not the final one.
It was Erich
Kobler who, in the 1950s, laid the foundation for the Kobler winegrowing
estate in Magré. In 1958, he planted the first vineyard, half of which
was Chardonnay. In 1972, a second location was added that he filled
with Pinot Grigio, Merlot, and Carménère, and a third
with Merlot came in 1993. In the 2000s, the assortment of grape
varieties was expanded by Cabernet Franc and Gewürztraminer.
A
decisive step for the Kobler winegrowing estate in Magré followed in the
mid-2000s. “With the 2006 harvest, my wife Monika and I began to make
wine ourselves from some of our grapes,” recounts Armin Kobler, son of
the operation’s founder. Thus the grapes from two hectares of the
estate’s own grape growing areas are made into wine in-house. “We reach
a production of an average of 15,000 bottles of DOC wines per year,”
Kobler says. The remainder of the harvest goes to the Cantina
Kurtatsch.
Even if the production is currently still manageable, the
goal of the Koblers continuing with their own wines is clear. “We want
to make wines,” Kobler explains, “which reflect as much as possible the character of the location, the variety, and the vintage.”
