Glatzer St. Laurent Carnuntum 2020

The Glatzer Carnuntum St. Laurent 2020 is an organic red wine crafted from the indigenous Sankt Laurent grape, grown in the esteemed Altenberg vineyard of Austria's Carnuntum region. This wine exemplifies the unique terroir of Carnuntum, where the interplay of warm Pannonian plains and cooling Danube breezes creates ideal conditions for viticulture. Following a meticulous hand-harvest, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is aged for 14 months in barriques, 20% of which are new, enhancing its complexity and structure. The result is a wine that is both expressive and elegant, showcasing the potential of Sankt Laurent in this distinctive region.

On the palate, it offers a juicy, powerful profile with a well-balanced structure and a lingering finish. Medium-bodied with medium-plus acidity and moderate tannins, this wine is both approachable and age-worthy.

This wine has been awarded 93 points by Falstaff, a testament to its quality and craftsmanship. Critics have praised its depth, structure, and the harmonious integration of fruit and oak.
