Christina, St. Laurent (2022)

REGION: Carnuntum (Tiny region next to Vienna)

COUNTRY: Austria

GRAPE(S): 100% St. Laurent

BODY: Light

ABV: 11.5%

TASTING NOTES: Juicy sour cherry & cranberry aromas, spicy and earthy on the palate.

WINEMAKING NOTES: The hand-picked whole bunches are sorted gently and carbonically macerated in closed fermenters, in a very slow and cold fermentation in the old cellar. After 10-20 days of maceration, the whole bunches are pressed into old oak vats, finishing the native fermentation as juice. Aging and malolactic fermentation takes place in big old oak vats for 6 months. Unfined, unfiltered, lightly sulfured at bottling. Certified organic.

FUN FACT: The labels of the wines are a tribute to the beneficiary insects that inhabit the vineyards where they help manage pests and build soil health and biodiversity
