Wenzel Michael Pinot Noir Kalkstein 2023 0,75l

Michael Wenzel Pinot Noir Kalkstein comes from the cool Kleiner Wald vineyard in the hills of Rust, where poor limestone soils shape its character. The vines are grown in single-stake culture, worked by hand and the grapes fermented spontaneously before being bottled unfiltered. On the nose the wine shows strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant alongside cherry, dried fruit, floral hints and a touch of graphite. On the palate the Pinot is juicy yet fleshy, with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins and a cool, precise aromatic profile. Notes of dark chocolate and subtle herbal spice lead into a long, slightly leafy finish. A complex Austrian Pinot that pairs beautifully with veal, poultry, mushroom dishes or delicately prepared beef.

Oak-free ageing emphasizes pure Pinot fruit, fine herbal spice and a chalky, precise expression.
