Description

Product description for Heinrich St. Laurent 2020 (bio)

Wine Information

The St. Laurent grapes come from both sides of Lake Neusiedl: on the one hand, from the Rosenberg vineyard, an eastern slope heavily dominated by mica schist in Breitenbrunn am Leithagebirge, and on the other, from the gravelly Parndorfer Platte and the humus-rich heathland east of Lake Neusiedl. The harvest took place in early September. After hand-picking and sorting, the St. Laurent was fermented spontaneously for three weeks in wooden fermenters and stainless steel vats. After slow pressing in a basket press, it was aged for 20 months in wooden fermenters and used barrels.

Colour

Garnet red to purple red, slightly transparent

Nose

On the nose, the St. Laurent opens quite seriously with notes of a touch of tar and sloe, earth, and crushed stone, before a hint of sweetness in the form of yeast, cranberries, and blackberries takes over, as well as a touch of aged and smoked meat. There’s a lot of tension in the aroma alone.

Palate

On the palate, this wine is also sinewy and with inner tension, pleasantly cool, earthy, and taut with lively acidity and minerality. The fruit is dark yet crisp, echoing the notes in the aroma. Herbs, sloes, juniper berries, and fleshy notes combine here with stone and ethereal overtones. The result is incredibly precise, fresh, and clear, juicy, and mouthwatering.
