Johanneshof Reinisch St. Laurent Ried Frauenfeld 2021 Organic

A few years ago, the esteemed Swiss wine expert Renè Gabriel bestowed the Frauenfeld vineyard's St. Laurent from Johanneshof Reinisch with a historic top score of 19/20 points in the magazine "Weinwisser," hailing it as the world's finest of its kind! Falstaff also awarded the 2021 vintage an impressive 94 points!

Frauenfeld, renowned for its rock-rich soil, stands among the world's premier terroirs for cultivating St. Laurent. The grapes are sourced from vines that are a minimum of 40 years old. The wine displays a deep ruby-garnet hue with violet reflections in the glass. Subtle nuances of cardamom and pepper intertwine with aromas of blackberry jam and delicate hints of pipe tobacco. On the palate, it reveals juicy red berry fruit, well-structured with integrated tannins that are already approachable and smooth. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as stews, roasts of dark meat, game, and mature cheeses.

This wine vividly illustrates the elegant potential of St. Laurent!
