ThermenregionPinot Noir Ried Graf Weingartl 2022

Our single-vineyard Pinot Noir is a delicate garnet red with a fine water edge and a dark core. The “Graf Weingartl” brings pure Burgundy to the nose, subtle raspberries with cherry fruit and the scent of violets, delicately backed by smoky aromas that are not solely due to the wood aging. On the palate it delivers what is promised in the scent, the berries continue. They are accompanied by a balanced acidity that gives the elegant tannins a complex framework. Nevertheless, you need time here, youthfull as he is. And patience the delicate tobacco aromas emerge on the palate, just right to create complexity. We love the long finish of this silky, elegant wine.
