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)
St. Laurent is a red grape varietal originating from Austria, producing wines with deep color and rich, fruity aromas. It is known for its intense flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, often accompanied by spicy and earthy undertones. This varietal is named after St. Lawrence's Day, when it was traditionally harvested. St. Laurent thrives in cooler climates and well-drained soils, which help to balance its naturally high acidity and tannins. The wines are medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture and can be enjoyed young or aged for several years. St. Laurent is a relative of Pinot Noir, sharing some of its elegance and complexity, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts looking for something distinctive yet approachable.
Country
Austria
Archaeological evidence suggests that grapevines have been grown and cultivated in what is today modern Austria for over four thousand years, making it one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world. Over the centuries, relatively little has changed in Austrian wine, with the dominant grape varietals continuing to be Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and others. Austria is renowned for producing excellent and characterful dry white wines, although in the eastern part of the country, many wineries specialist in sweeter white wines made in a similar style to those of neighboring Hungary. Today, Austria has over fifty thousand hectares under vine, split over four key wine regions. The domestic wine industry remains strong, with Austrians drinking their local produce outside in the summer, and people around the world are beginning to once more rediscover this fascinating and ancient wine culture.

Wine Advocate
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.
