Thomas Mayr and his father Luis Mayr are a tuned
and well-known winemakers’ team, the secret of their success lying
in combining traditional heritage with a modern methodology of wine
production. With a rigorous selection of the grapes and the utmost
respect for the natural composition of the product wines of finest
quality are obtained. The speciality of the house and the
vinophile’s delight: wine processed from the local vine Lagrein.
For almost 150 years the Mayr family is engaged in winemaking:
greatgrandfather Thomas Mayr in the 19th century still in the
family’s home town Kurtinig close to the broder to Trentino,
grandfather Thomas Mayr from the 1920s onwards in Bozen/Bolzano,
where he settled down in Gries in the middle of the Lagrein grape
cultivation area, and finally his sons Luis and Thomas Mayr. Today
the family business – still small but smart – is led by Luis Mayr
and his son Thomas Mayr, the latter adding entrepreneurial spirit to
the former’s long and rich experience.
Our specialities:
Our specialities are the barrique-processed Lagrein, the Lagrein
Riserva, kept in bigger wooden barrels, but also the Weißburgunder
with its mineral but still harmoniously mild touch and its
“Glaniger” acid structure.
