Saint Laurent

Sankt Laurent, a close member of the Burgundy family with deep roots in Central Europe, fascinates with its subtle balance of dark berry fruit, cool acidity and fine spice. In the glass, it often shows great depth, with notes of sour cherry and forest floor, supported by supple tannins. That this grape variety harmonises beautifully with natural carbon dioxide is proven by the Heinrich winery with an animating Pétillant Naturel, which wonderfully conveys the grape’s juicy primary fruit.

Sankt Laurent also develops a highly distinctive profile as a rosé. An impressive example of this artisanal potential is the amphora-aged rosé by Johannes Zillinger, which boasts a dense, almost weightless texture. In terms of food pairings, this grape variety shines alongside braised vegetables, mushroom dishes or fine game pâté.
