This is Gerhard Pittnauer’s entry-level wine, and delicious it is, all juicy fruit with just a modicum of wood. The red fruits are vibrant, ripe, open and friendly. Great barbecue material.

Classic in Austrian terms means no, or very little wood, leaving the fruit to speak for itself. Black cherry fruits, pure and refreshing, suggest this could even be a summer red served chilled.

Pittnauer’s white blend of Chard, Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh and lightly citric with a touch of fresh white currants. It’s soft and easy, with a crisp aftertaste.

Impressive, what a master winemaker can do with St. Laurent grapes. Retains the typical fresh, juicy character, but plumbs depths of flavor and richness that are not often found. The finishing acidity gives freshness.

This goes for the earthy side of St. Laurent, especially the aroma. None the worse for that, because the wine is very drinkable, a powerball of juicy fruit, of fresh berries and delicious acidity.

A blend of Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and Merlot, this is Pittnauer’s top wine, a smooth and ripe, with a brushed velvet texture. The surface softness only masks the power underneath. The tannins are dusty, but dense; the black jelly-flavored fruits power through the wood and tannins. It’s big, but balanced.
