One of Austria's most consistently highly-rated Pinot Noirs is also one of the world's finest Pinot Noir values! From Austria's Wagram region and two-time Austrian Winemaker of the Year Anton Bauer, this is 100% Pinot Noir, including the fragrant Dijon 777 clone so popular in top Willamette Valley wines, growing in a south-facing vineyard of loam over loess soils beneath the famed Hengstberg hill. Harvested by hand, sorted berry-by-berry using a high-tech optical sorter, the ripe fruit ferments in tank with just enough skin contact and then ages slowly over 16 months in a mixture of tank, large cask, and used French oak barrique. A touch richer than in past vintages, it’s delicious for the ripe fruit and sweet spice now and will keep on gaining earthy complexity – with no loss of fruit! – for at least another five years.
