Lower AustriaPinot Noir Reserve Ried Rothenbichl 2018

Complex bouquet of wild berries and currants, with hints of spices; soft and dry on the palate, then immediatlely juicy, yet very densely structured with delicate but still youthful tannins; fine varietal typicity, nice volume; quietly flowing, elegant and seductive.

Only healthy grapes are harvested by hand at the end of October after several harvests.

The grapes are destemmed, cold macerated and then fermented in open fermentation vats for almost four weeks. The mash is first immersed by hand three times a day, then twice a day, in order to obtain maximum fruit and fine tannins. The wine is then matured for three years in small French oak barrels before being bottled.

Goes well with lamb, wild fowl, "Boeuf Bourguignon", steak with mushrooms, goose, duck, smoked meats with bacon, etc.
