GRAND CRU


For special moments

OLD VARIETIES,
NEW TASTE


A label that is both a distinction and a promise. For us Grand Cru means outstanding old apple varieties, which we nurture with our experience and dedication in the mountain sun on the Ritten until they provide us with their juice.

Apple varieties with a long history, almost forgotten but now back again: Ananasrenette and Wintercalville. It has taken great patience and expertise to reach the stage where we can add our own Grand Cru to the delights of single-variety apple juices.


GRAND CRU RANGE


Apple juice Ananasrenette with box
Apple juice Ananasrenette with box
Fresh and fruity - and a little bit frivolous. That is how an apple of this name should be. And it is true! Where does this apple in the middle of South Tyrol come from? The trail leads back to the 19th century in Germany, Belgium and Holland. At that time, the Pineapple Pippin became "everybody's darling" due to its excellent taste. On the sunny Ritten, in the healthy air and in the right soil, and, above all, with the benefit of our many years of experience, the Pineapple Pippin is now growing again. Greenish yellow, spicy on the palate, and highly reminiscent of pineapple with notes of citrus fruits and currants, this historical apple variety produces a noble mountain apple juice for special moments.Short description: Greenish yellow, spicy on the palate, and highly reminiscent of pineapple with notes of citrus fruits and currants.Highly recommended: as an aperitif and with asparagus, risotto and cooked or grilled meats.

Apple juice Wintercalville with box
Apple juice Wintercalville with box
The very name conjures up a journey to a cold land - a journey the Wintercalville really made when word of this excellent dessert apple reached the court of the Tzar and it was delivered from South Tyrol, individually wrapped in paper. The Wintercalville has a long pedigree, reaching right back to the Middle Ages. Probably a native of Normandy, for a long time the Wintercalville was widely cultivated and in great demand, even in the highest circles. Wintercalville trees are sensitive; they like nutritious, healthy and warm soils of the type we can offer on the Ritten. Short description: Golden yellow, spicy and aromatic with a characteristic scent of white peach, juicy yellow plums and honey.Highly recommended: as an aperitif and with vegetarian dishes, pasta dishes, lamb and goat's cheese.

AS NOBLE AS CHAMPAGNE


These are juices for moments that leave you speechless: When the fruit dances on the tongue; when it unfolds its subtle play on the palate: intense and weightless, seductive and charming, unprecedented and highly promising. When colours become living vibrations every sip is of breathtaking purity. As exquisite as it is rare, grown and refined on the Ritten in South Tyrol.

In 1801 Johann Prokop Mayer, botanist and landscape architect and author of Pomona Franconica, described the Wintercalville apple as follows: “The White Wintercalville has such a select taste of wine that one thinks one is eating pineapple or strawberries in champagne.”

THOMAS KOHL

GRAND CRU
LIKE GOLD ON THE PALATE


“Coaxing the secret out of the apples – with my own hands! And accompanying this secret until it unfolds as an exquisite pleasure in the glass – for people who appreciate it. A challenge when it comes to rare, demanding apple varieties – like our two Grand Cru.

The gently pressed juice is their concentrated essence: surprising, extraordinary and mysterious, full of refinement and noble character.”
