Description

Product description for Heinrich Pinot Noir 2023 (bio)

Info

Heinrich’s Pinot Noir combines both shores of Lake Neusiedl. While in the west the vines grow on the limestone of the Leitha Mountains, in the east they thrive on the sunny slopes of the Parndorfer Platte on sandy, loamy gravel soils.

After the harvest in early September, the must is left to macerate for one week. Fermentation also occurs spontaneously on the skins and is later gently pressed with a basket press. The Pinot Noir is allowed to rest on its natural lees for seven months until bottling. The wine was bottled at the beginning of May 2024 with 1g/l residual sugar and 5.2g/l acidity.

Color

Bright ruby red with very even color towards the rim.

Nose

In its youth, it has a reductive and cool aroma, typical of Heinrich. This is expressed through acidic fruits such as red currant, raspberry, and sour cherry. The fruit is crisp and compact. Fresh and clear. Dark elements also mingle. Violets on the floral side, but also accents of juniper and allspice from the spicy side. The reduction still seems wild at times, but this quickly subsides when you swirl the glass. At the end, the ethereal elements make their mark. Eucalyptus and mint are the leading protagonists.

Palate

The palate is once again a typical Heinrich. Fresh and clear. Compact and precise. A very juicy and silky Pinot Noir, whose fruit varies from dark to light. Its acidity is incredibly gripping. With zero tannin, it is lean and racy, animating. It doesn’t linger on the palate for very long. Its herbal freshness and crisp berry fruit are enormously stimulating. A clear, precise wine.
