Mirell is not only the name of the woman painted on an ancient portrait owned by the family, but it is the symbolic image of the care and careful selection of the best Lagrein grapes.
Christian Plattner from Ansitz Waldgries uses his best Lagrein grapes for Mirell. They come from Santa Maddalena and the Furggl site near Auer. Some grapes dry on the vine to give the wine even greater concentration. The wine is aged in barrique.
