Reyter 🇮🇹

L'impact :

⛰️ Scale: Historic, varied plots across South Tyrol, including old-vine sites in Gries, Lake Caldaro, St. Pauls, and high-altitude slopes in Tirolo sitting 400 to 600 meters above sea level.

🤝 Human Impact: Crafted by Christoph and Joachim Unterhofer. Christoph began making low-intervention Lagrein in 2003 alongside local natural winemakers, with Joachim later joining to manage the domain together.

🌱 Philosophy: Farming organically since 1996. In the cellar, they guide the fruit with minimal intervention—relying on spontaneous yeast fermentation, natural malolactic fermentation, and physical gravity sedimentation to keep the wine as genuine as possible.

🌳 Biodiversity: They view their land as a shared habitat with local animal life, relying on natural fauna to keep the vineyard ecosystem in balance and respecting nature's full cycle. They also preserve ancient, deep-rooted vines planted as early as 1920.

L'histoire

I (Christoph) started making wine from my Lagrein grapes in 2003. I began producing alongside other low-intervention winemakers in our region, to learn the practice and build up experience in the sector.
I (Joachim) joined the work process more and more, and then came on fully as a winemaker.

Philosophie

The idea of making natural wines grew with the idea of working the agriculture organically. To respect nature and the results of nature that we are allowed to work with, we share the soils and the land and the plants on which we are working with a huge amount of animals, and they even help us to keep the system in balance. Therefore, it's our mission to respect the circle of nature in all our lands.
In the cellar, we are observing the natural processes of our grapes, such as spontaneous fermentation, malolactic fermentation and physical sedimentation.
So the grape comes as genuine as possible from the vine to the bottle and in the glass.

Le vignoble : Reyter

We've been producing organically since 1996; in 2003, we released our first labels from Lagrein: Lakrez and Rahm.
All our Lagrein grapes come from Gries, maybe the best area for Lagrein vineyards, planted between 1960 and 1990 (Porphyde soil).
Our Schiava grapes grow around Lake Caldaro, planted between 1920 and 1940 (Limestone Gravel).
Our Chardonnay is grown in the area of St. Pauls.
The grapes for our Pierrot come from Tirolo above Merano, between 400 and 600 meters above sea level.
