Description
Pinot Noir Terroir is a multi-layered, elegant and sophisticated concert-piece of fruit and nobility, reflecting its origins on the Leithaberg. Medium garnet red blended with soft brick-red tones, the wine releases a fruit-forward intense aromatic arc of earth and raspberry and wet stone, announcing its complexity. The roasted aromas, already quite prominent in the nose, follow on to the palate, where the wine continues its fine interplay between strawberry, raspberry & redcurrant. This panoply of fruit flavour is complemented with meaty tones reminiscent of delicately cured prosciutto. The pleasure on the palate is followed by a long and elegant, but firm and concentrated finish.
Pinot Noir Terroir is grown in the vineyard Ried Altenberg in Jois, one of the best sites in the region. Sandy loess two metres deep covers an equally proportioned layer of gravel with high clay content. Underneath it all lies the Leitha limestone, where the vines extend their roots deeply to reach the water below. Once again, the Leitha Range proves itself in this wine to be an exceptional habitat for the Pinot family. Contains sulphites.
