Winery - Johanneshof Reinisch
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
St. Laurent is a speciality at Johanneshof Reinisch (they make 4 different wines from this varietal). From the Frauenfeld vineyard, this particular interpretation of the grape is packed with berry fruits, a juicy, lightly acidic structure and just hints in the form of spice of the 16 months of barrel aging.

This cross between Traminer and Roter Veltliner is found mainly in the Thermenregion in Austria. This example is rich and perfumed, with some hint of lychees but low acidity. Wood aging does little for it. Screwcap.

As with so many red wine producers in Thermenregion, Pinot Noir and its local derivatives (Blauer Burgunder and Blaufränkisch) do very well at Johann Reinisch’s estate. This full-blown wine, earthy, ripe and with great balancing acidity, is packed with red plum and strawberry flavors. Screwcap.

A big, bold wine, now getting mature. Solidly full of ripe berry fruits, wood and soft tannins, it also has a complexity of other flavors: spice, thyme, smokiness. Impressive for its density and power.

The 16 months wood aging has smoothed the wrinkles in this wine, giving solid tannins, a dry core and red cherry and wild strawberry flavors. It is a fine performance, dense but not losing sight of the varietal character.

The Rotgipfler is a rare grape, found almost entirely in the Thermenregion south of Vienna. It produces a crisp, dry, elegant wine, with some structure and flavors of green grape skins. Fresh and crisp aftertaste.

A well-structured wine, with tannins marching in step with the red fruits and fresh acidity. With its dark color and mineral character, this is firm and solid, giving way to a lighter touch with the bright juicy aftertaste. Screwcap.

Rich, with strong flavors of red berries, beetroot and an earthy pepper character. This has all the Zweigelt characters in an easy, fresh wine that also has good juicy concentration. Screwcap.

An impressive wine, now showing all the structure along with the bright cherry and plum flavors of St. Laurent. Bitter chocolate gives richness to the tannins, while acidity gives the whole wine great life to go with the concentration.
