Sankt Laurent

Ruby-red and medium-bodied, this organic red brings raspberry, blackberry, red cherry and plum, with orange zest, tobacco and flinty character. The texture is juicy, with fine integrated tannins and a mineral finish. The blend combines Zweigelt, Sankt Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Maturation takes place in 500-litre and larger oak vessels, and the alcohol level is twelve percent.

Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent are blended in proportions of seventy and thirty percent. Around ten percent of the stems remain in the mash before natural fermentation in stainless-steel and fibreglass vats. Pressing takes place after about ten days. The wine then spends twenty-two months on gross lees in 225-litre barriques and is bottled unfiltered, without fining or additives. Alcohol is eleven percent, and no sulfur is added.
