Pinot Noir Wagram 2015

Feuersbrunn / Wagram/Austria

This Pinot Noir shows a precise balance between the fruit and acidity that makes it fresh and lively. It has a typical Pinot Noir nose with strawberries, raspberries and floral notes such as violets. On the palate the wine is well balanced, elegant and it has a long finish tasting of red berries.

Serving Suggestion: An all-purpose red, easy to drink and it pairs with many different dishes from fish and vegetables to lighter meat dishes and spicy food.

Pinot Noir:

“In Austria the variety was first mentioned in 1394 in connection with the Freigut Thallern near Gumpoldskirchen, the estate of the Cistercian monastery in Heiligenkreuz. Thus, one can rightly call it “indigenous”, an Austria native grape. The Pinot Noir or Blaue Burgunder, as it is called here in Austria, places high demands on climate, soil and site. It is susceptible to various grape and vine diseases, sensitive to late frosts, berry loss and, because of its thin grape skin, also tends to rot. Therefore, to press a Pinot Noir poses an interesting challenge. A challenge also for me. The wines, clearly reflecting the great examples from Burgundy, show a delicate berry fruit, fine and elegant, but they also have power and backbone for a long maturing period. The variety manages to cope well with the Wagram conditions. This is why I am regarding the Pinot Noir, along with the Gruner Veltliner, as the most important grape variety for the future.“

Anton Bauer 2014 Pinot Noir (Wagram) 93POINTS 0 Pure notes of red fruits reach the nose: Morello cherry and mulberry harmonize beautifully. Their purity pervades a palate that has the lightest touch: there is something authentic, beautiful and unforced about this. There is a suggestion, too, of herb, moss or undergrowth. This unpretentious winemaking style lets this pure, glorious fruit speak for itself and brings with it a profound sense of honest depth, bountiful earth and full-fruited balance.
