The Pinot Noir is commonly considered to be one of the best and most precious red wine varieties of the world. In Austria Pinot grapes are known since the Middle Ages and can be found in almost all wine-growing regions of the country. The Pinot Noir loves the warm climate of the area around Lake Neusiedl. It ripens early and the wines are generally very full bodied and offer a tremendously rich bouquet.
AT-BIO-402
Bright red like the corn poppy. Every spring the corn poppies cover vineyard rows, waysides and embankments with their bright red flowers. This attracts lots of insects that are after the nectar. Therefore poppies are not only very betautiful but also play an important role in supporting the biodiversity of an organic vineyard.
This Pinot Noir shines garnet-red in its glass and develops an intense red berry like bouquet with hints of roasted wood flavours. On the palate it is strong, still fruity and has noticeable tannins. Its long lasting fruity finish tops of the impression.
This Pinot Noir suits to a grand dinner, to roastd or cooked beef, game as well as to pies.
Needs 2-3 years after the harvest to reach its optimum. Can easily kept from 4-6 years or longer.
