Saint Laurent 2020
An exciting premium red varietal grown widely in Austria. It produces dark skinned berries with smooth velvety tannins. Genetically it is thought to be a âwild cousinâ of Pinot Noir.
Often thought of as a âgentle giantâ â this is because the wine is big in colour but on the palate itâs gentle with beautiful smooth, silky tannins. Cropping levels are kept low to ensure the fruit is concentrated. Varietal flavours are accumulated through hang time on the vines well into Autumn.
Hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeast, then matured in French oak for 11 months (25% new), this wine then undergoes natural malolactic fermentation. GOLD MEDAL Organic Wine Awards, for 2022 5 Stars Raymond Chan 5 Stars Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Tasting notes Sweetly fruited and inviting on the nose with Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet and toasted almond character. It is beautifully rounded on the palate, delivering bright fruit intensity and polished tannins. Library
