Dry, Light Bodied style of St. Laurent
About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of St. LaurentInfluential northern Burgenland producer Pittnauer specialises in this alluring grape variety. A descendant of Pinot Noir but with darker flavours, this is a terrific example from a great producer. Spicy, red berries on the nose - pepper sprinkled cranberries. Theres a gravel like mineral component too. Soft and silky in the mouth, really mouthfilling and pinot-esque. Those bright fruits on the nose are indicative of the flavours too. Bright, juicy and delicious.

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Almost too light, but you forgive the wine for its bright, frisky, gulpable feel. Scents of red cherry, sweaty herbs (in a positive sense), game meat, white pepper, amaro. Palate is in the cranberry spectrum with the same chalky feel. It dances on the tongue with perky red cherry fruits, savoury-meaty stuff, herbal character, a pleasing sour-bitter twist to finish. I absolutely wanted to nail my glass. And another.
