Traditional Estate Winery, Traditional Location
The Waldthaler family has been running their estate for seven generations
Now in its seventh generation of winegrowers, the Clemens Waldthaler Estate Wineryis based in Ora in the heart of the Lagrein and Pinot Noir areas in the
Bassa Atesina. Today, Clemens Waldthaler focuses not just on those two
calling card varieties, but also has white wines and Bordeaux varieties
in the selection.
Ora is a traditional winegrowing village in the Bassa Atesina. It is on a porphyry scree cone which lends the wines grown here a mineral-rich tone.
In addition, the climate and slight slopes provide the conditions that
are optimal for winegrowing. The Waldthalers also recognized that, but
it was back in 1735. That was when the family purchased the estate
winery which today bears their name and comprises seven hectares of
grape growing areas.
In the vineyards of the Clemens Waldthaler
Estate Winery in Ora, it is not just the two varieties that are classic
for the Bassa Atesina that grow there, Pinot Noir and Lagrein, but also
Cabernet and Merlot. The best grapes of the latter three varieties are
made into the wines that are the calling card of the Clemens Waldthaler
Estate Winery: the Raut line. In addition to the reds, there are also white wines in the assortment on offer consisting of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc.
“We
focus on gentle processing of the grapes, controlled fermentation, and
the constant inspection and care of the wines,” Waldthaler says, going
on to also explain the goal of this guiding principle: “All of that is
imperative for the quality and drinkability of the wine.”
