Style & Character

Aroma:

Fresh and inviting with black cherry, wild berries, and subtle herbal/savory hints. More complex bottlings can also show delicate spice, orange zest, or nougat nuances.

Palate:

Medium‑bodied with juicy red and dark fruit, gentle acidity, and velvety tannins. The wine is known for a fine fruit expression with a mineral or slightly salty edge on the finish.

Finish:

Clean and lingering, with ripe fruit, subtle spice, and balanced acidity — versatile on the table and approachable when young but capable of short‑term aging.

Winemaking & Style

1. Often fermented and matured in large traditional oak casks to preserve fruit purity while adding structure.
2. The grape’s naturally vivid fruit and fine tannins give the wine a smooth, balanced mouthfeel with complexity above its affordable price point.

St. Laurent is a local favorite in Austria — elegant yet expressive and lighter than many big international reds, making it versatile with food.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with:

1. Roasted or grilled red meats
2. Game and hearty stews
3. Mushroom dishes
4. Mild to semi‑hard cheeses
5. This versatility comes from the wine’s balance of fruit, acidity, and spice.
