Introduction:
A vibrant and expressive red from Germany’s Pfalz region, this Sankt Laurent offers a refined balance of dark fruit, floral lift, and structure. It’s a compelling example of how this lesser-known varietal can deliver depth and freshness in equal measure.

Terrior:
The grapes are cultivated in the historic Kobnert vineyard in Kallstadt, a site with centuries of winemaking tradition. The vineyard’s lime-marl, loess, and gravel soils are complemented by a protective barrier from the Palatinate Forest, creating a temperate microclimate ideal for slow, even ripening.

Appearance:
Deep magenta with a violet rim, clear and youthful in presentation.

Nose:
Aromatic and inviting, with notes of sour cherry, black raspberry, and dark plum. Secondary aromas of wild herbs, cocoa, and a hint of dried violet add complexity and a savory undertone.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and silky, the palate unfolds with black cherry, forest floor, and bittersweet chocolate. There’s a sleek mineral thread throughout, supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that keeps the wine lively and structured.

Finish:
Long and elegant, with persistent notes of black fruit, savory herbs, and crushed stone.

Overall Impression:
This Sankt Laurent is a nuanced and polished expression of the varietal, balancing rustic charm with a refined edge. Its versatility makes it a great pairing for roast duck, mushroom dishes, or earthy vegetarian fare.
