Wine Description

The Linticlarus Selection line includes the premium wines of the Tiefenbrunner Estate Winery, which are produced only in exceptional vintages. The name “Linticlarus” is taken from the name of the former Roman fortress "castrum linticlar" in Entiklar. The goal of this selection is to combine the highest potential of both the vineyard and the vintner's art to produce inimitable, world-class wines.

Acclaim
“The 2011 Linticlarus Lagrein Riserva boasts notable depth, intensity and varietal character. A host of blueberry jam, smoke, cloves, licorice and menthol take shape in the glass. Vivid and imposing, the 2011 hits all the right notes, showing tons of personality. Lavender, savory herbs and spices add the final shades of nuance on the imposing finish. This is a very strong showing from Tiefenbrunner.”
— Vinous, May 2015
“Offers brambly blackberry, black raspberry and cherry fruit, wrapped with fine tannins and spice notes and riding the silky texture. Juicy acidity drives this through to a mocha-tinged finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Aug 2014
