| Notes: |
Sankt Laurent is a fairly rare Austrian grape varietal. It originated as a volunteer clone from Pinot Noir plants Burgundian monks brought into the country centuries ago. JURIS is one of the top Austrian wine makers of this exquisite grape and their Selection 2007 is yet another good example of their craftsmanship.
The wine shows the typical cherry notes of a good St. Laurent, has a medium body, and pairs very well with many types of food, grilled fish and braised meats alike.
Testament to this is the fact that this wine was poured by the glass simultaneously in two very well known restaurants at both coasts, Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and Wallse Restaurant in New York City. The JURIS St. Laurent also received a great review from the Wall Street Journal in an in-depth-article on Austrian red wines. |
