Cinnamon and plum notes immediately reach the nose before a more pervasive, dark peony note makes itself felt. The concentrated palate presents the finest web of sheer tannins, which provide an almost invisible but nonetheless firm structure against which the sonorous plum fruit can play. A very elegant, fine-boned wine that will reward with a little bottle aging. Lovely freshness pervades all. Drink 2022–2032. (Cellar Selection) ... More details

From 62-year-old vines and aged in Austrian and French barriques for 16 months, the 2016 St Laurent Ried Holzspur is intensely fruity and concentrated yet pure and fine on the charming and generous nose that exhibits dark, ripe cherry and berry aromas with notes of melting milk chocolate. Smooth and round on the palate, this is a full-bodied and juicy wine with power, finesse and intense and persistent fruit and warmth. Quite powerful and rich but always refined and elegant, with ripe and fine tannins. More the old Reinisch style of the red septet I had during this tasting at home in March 2020. 13.5% alcohol. Give the wine (at least) 3-5 years.

Country: Austria

Austria is a fascinating country when it comes to wine production, and with a wine culture that stretches back over four thousand years, it is one of the oldest viticultural centers in the world. Today, it is the Grüner Veltliner varietal grape which is the most widely grown and processed, producing elegant dry white wines, and very flavorful and aromatic sweet wines enjoyed to a great extent by local communities, and which are beginning to receive the recognition they deserve by the global wine market. Austria's eastern flatlands benefit from fertile and mineral rich soils, fed by the great river Danube, as well as the long hot summers the country enjoys with low precipitation. Today, over fifty thousand hectares of Austrian land is under vine, and even within the city limits of Vienna, high quality wine is produced and enjoyed.
