"The 2021 Sankt Laurent Ried Frauenfeld was picked from 45-year-old vines rooting in calcareous alluvial gravels with chernozem topsoils. A three-week cuvaison was followed by aging in a mix of first- and third-fill barriques of French and Austrian oak. Reductive smokiness on the nose reveals a smattering of pepper. Once this has dissipated, a floral element of narcissus and dark peony appears. The palate is juicy, smooth and flowing with red-fruited waves of cherry. This is dense and tightly woven, with a slightly darker aspect and a structured web of tannins, still slightly astringent but balanced by fruit and freshness. (Bone-dry)"
