Pour this blind and even seasoned tasters will guess Burgundy. Sankt Laurent is the Thermenregion's signature red, a moody Austrian grape with Pinot Noir in its family tree and a talent for fooling the room. The Reinisch family grows it organically on the chalk-and-clay valley floor at Tattendorf, ferments with a portion of whole clusters, and ages it in large, mostly neutral oak so the wine's dark-fruited, silky character shines. It's the kind of bottle that sends people scrambling to learn a grape they've never heard of. Consider this your introduction.

More about Familie Reinisch

If you think great Pinot Noir has to come from Burgundy, the Reinisch family would like a word. They work in the Thermenregion, the strip of limestone-rich vineyards just south of Vienna where the Alps run out, and they have made a serious case for Austrian Pinot Noir and its moody local cousin, Sankt Laurent.

The estate (also known as Johanneshof Reinisch) was founded in 1923 with half a hectare of vines and is now run by the fourth generation: brothers Johannes, who makes the wines, Christian and Michael. Their 40 hectares are split between two very different villages. On the valley floor at Tattendorf the soils are loose, alluvial and chalky; up in the hills of Gumpoldskirchen, above 350 meters, the vines sit on fossil-bearing limestone. The brothers converted to organic farming in 2004 and were certified in 2010.

Pinot Noir ages in French oak from a range of cooperages, with the share of whole clusters changing by vintage. The range climbs from friendly Estate bottlings to single-vineyard (Ried) wines such as the Holzspur Pinot Noir and Lores Chardonnay, plus an old-vine Gumpoldskirchen Pinot. And don't overlook the local white grapes: Rotgipfler, rarely grown anywhere but here, is a genuine discovery.
