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, a one-week maceration period follows for the must. Spontaneous fermentation takes place on the mash and later the wine is carefully 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.

Colour

Bright ruby red with very even colour towards the rim.

Nose

When young, it has a reductive and cool aroma, just like Heinrich. This spills over into tart fruits like 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 direction. The reduction still seems wild at times, but this quickly subsides when you swirl the glass. At the end, the ethereal elements leave their mark. Eucalyptus and mint are the leading protagonists.

Palate

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