Most people think of Burgundy when they think of great Pinot Noir. Fewer think of a windswept limestone hillside 20 minutes south of Vienna, but they should. This is old-vine Pinot from Gumpoldskirchen, the storied village at the heart of Austria's Thermenregion, farmed organically by the Reinisch family on fossil-rich limestone that gives the wine its cool, chiseled backbone. The Reinisches have quietly become the reference point for red wine in this corner of Austria, and the Alte Reben ('old vines') is where they show what elevation and age can do. Serious Pinot at a fraction of what the name commands elsewhere.

"Medium-bodied and silky, with gentle tannins supporting bramble and blueberry flavors. The palate is elegant and approachable, though a touch subtle, finishing with moderate length. Balanced and precise, offering charm and refinement without overwhelming intensity." —Aleks Zecevic

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.
