"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)"

"A maelstrom of dark spicy aromas, plus notes of licorice, red roses and wet earth rise from the glass of this impressive, youthful red from the St. Laurent grape. On the palate this is both meaty and velvety with compact, fine-grained tannins that make it feel way more powerful than its 13% alcohol suggests. Then, the very fresh and energetic finish lifts you up far enough to let you glimpse the stars. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold"

"From shallow alluvial, very calcareous soils in Tattendorf, Reinisch's dark ruby colored 2019 Ried Frauenfeld St Laurent opens with a deep and intense but fresh, lemon-scented and slightly flinty bouquet of black berries and crushed stones. Pure and bloody. On the palate, this is a juicy, salty, piquant and finely grippy yet silky-textured and refined Saint Laurent with ripe and quite open fruit, fine tannins and good freshness on the slightly plummy and developed finish. A very charming, elegant and accessible red with 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2022."
