Christmas Colours of Austria Wine Box
Three different colours: White- Red - Orange
Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC, Christ:
Not only that Vienna is the only capital in the world with its own appellation, unlike other Gemischter Satz in Austria, Gemischter Satz from Vienna has to be a real field blend. Rainer Christ is a top organic wine maker based in Stammersdorf in the North, unlike most other Viennese winemakers, who are located around the Western or South-Western edges of Vienna.
St. Laurent Classic, Fischer:
Fischer’s classic St. Laurent is made from handpicked grapes from a number of vineyards around Soosz. St. Laurent is a rare grape variety - only 732 ha are grown all over Austria - related to Pinot Noir. Like Zweigelt, St. Laurent is an autochton grape variety, unique to Austria. Fischer’s St. Laurent vines average 33 years in yielding only 43hl/ha. Fermented 12 days in stainless steel and matured in old, large oak. Dark ruby in colour, red cherry and red plums, delicate and soft, velvety, long finish. Wonderful with roast chicken or pork.
Bärig Alte Reben, Bauer:
Bärig is a blend of both grape varieties, from vineyards with over 50 year old vines. The wine macerates nearly for two months on the skins. Melon, pear and quince on the nose, apple and tannic grip on the palate. Citrus and almond add to the intricate finish. Excellent value! Goes well with Asian food and works perfect an aperitif.
