2022 Steindorfer - St. Laurent Reserve (750ml)
2022 Steindorfer St. Laurent Reserve — 750ml
From Burgenland’s Steindorfer estate, the 2022 St. Laurent Reserve is a single-vineyard expression drawn from the Illmitzweg site. Grown on black earth soils and harvested by hand in September 2022, the grapes were meticulously selected — up to six clusters per vine — then macerated for 14 days and aged for 18 months in new barriques. The result is a deeply colored wine with an inviting bouquet of cherries, hints of chocolate, spice and vanilla, followed by a palate that offers structure and a long, persistent finish. St. Laurent is Austria’s answer to Pinot Noir—silky, aromatic, and distinctly food-friendly—and this Reserve delivers considerable depth without sacrificing elegance at 14% ABV. Drink now through 2030.
