Austria

Dense purple with a dark violet rim. Notes of crisp cherries and black pepper on the nose. Stewed sour cherries completed by a hint of vanilla and gentian, spicy-dense, sun-warmed blackberries.

Unusually the Kiss Trift St Laurent is oak aged, lending the wine some wonderful earthier aromas. Deep fruit aromas are complimented by wilder and more savoury tertiary notes with a touch of leather, sweet spice and smoke. Concentrated on the palate, with a dash of brick dust, berry fruit and dried flowers.

Heidi’s ‘Ried Kulm’ Blaufränkisch is a benchmark example of Burgenland’s signature variety.

Ruby red in colour, with aromas of forest berries and peppery cinnamon, ‘Ried Kulm’ has a vibrant and lively palate, with fine-grained tannins and a long finish.

Fabulous match with game. 

This Sankt Laurent from the team at Allram, Austria is Elegant and a light red colour. The Sankt laurent Grape is a descendent of Pinot Noir and so has some of those characteristics. It has excellent spicy fruit, delicate sweetness and a well-balanced acidity. It is mineral, on the palate but still fruit driven.
