St.Laurent, Burgenland, Austria

A refreshing, pronounced red with a reputation as one of the most beloved from this producer! Spread over 18 hectares, the Ziniel vineyards are guided by minimal intervention, leaving the ample flora and fauna to flourish alongside their crop. Winemaker Andreas’s focus rests on emphasizing individual grape character and place of origin, with a dangerously drinkable edge. From vines 7-25 years old, St. Laurent is a highly aromatic, dark-skinned grape perfect for cool climate regions, and also happens to be one of Andreas’s faves from his farm! Grown mainly on loamy-sand soil, the vines have to travel down deep to get water, which means they get lower yields, upped concentration & encouraged aromatics. A mixture of different techniques to strike the right balance, from skin contact for tannin extraction, carbonic maceration for aromatic expression, a bit of old oak for roundness & concrete to keep the true character shining through. The centre of a blackberry, underripe plum, mom’s pot-roast spices, standing on a warm mossy hill at the edge of a bog earthy funk, condensed but fine grain tannins, sun through branches, herbs between lawn grass & white rock minerality. Enjoy with warm legume dishes and sitting on the same side of the table.

Pinot Blanc, Burgenland, Austria

A lavish, spiced pinot blanc, for the lovers not the fighters. Spread over 18 hectares, the Ziniel vineyards are guided by minimal intervention, leaving the ample flora and fauna to flourish alongside their crop. FUN FACT! Klevner is an old name for weissburgunder/pinot blanc. This wine is particularly special to Andreas as he feels this royal grape transmutes the terroir to a tee. Plucked from one site of 20-year-old vines, the aromatic and plush klevner is stomped by foot, then macerated for 4-7 hours building texture, before direct pressed and distributed between big old oak barrels and ceramic vessels (so not to be over-influenced by the wood). Andreas shared with us that this wine is in the PERFECT place right now, and we received the LAST few bottles available to share with YOU, #luckyducklings! Honeysuckle climbing up a tree, flint in the distance, opulent candied energy (but not sweet), smooth spice with a salt pinch, discarded wood, white sprinkles, cashew cream & sour melon-apple hybrid. Enjoy with lobster pot pie.
