is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Johanneshof Reinisch’s Saint Laurent Holzspur 2019 is a refined and complex red that showcases the depth of Saint Laurent, a varietal often compared to Pinot Noir but with its own distinct character. Coming from the esteemed Holzspur vineyard, this wine presents a unique expression of the grape, blending fruit, spice, and earth in a beautifully balanced package.
The nose is inviting, with dark fruit—blackberries, plums, and cherries—interwoven with soft spices like clove and a hint of vanilla. There’s an earthy undertone, with subtle notes of forest floor and tobacco, adding complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins that give it a smooth mouthfeel. The acidity is well-balanced, lifting the fruit while enhancing the wine’s freshness. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality that speaks to the terroir of Holzspur.
This Saint Laurent is perfect with roasted meats, duck, or a wild mushroom risotto. While it's drinking beautifully now, it also has the structure to age, gaining complexity over the next several years. Johanneshof Reinisch’s 2019 Saint Laurent Holzspur is a wine that combines elegance and power, showcasing the versatility and potential of this unique grape.
