St. Laurent Ausstich

RIED STIFTSBREITE
ST. LAURENT AUSSTICH
2022

Wine-description:
The cellar master composes the St. Laurent Ausstich from a selection of the best large wooden barrels of each vintage. This wine is reminiscent of heart cherries, red currants and dark berries in both color and aroma, making this wine a special representative of its variety.

On the variety and origins of this wine:
Originally from France, the St. Laurent grape variety requires warm, fertile soils. The Tattendorf vineyards of the Klosterneuburg Abbey winery therefore offer the best conditions for optimal ripening of the thick-skinned, black-blue berries.

Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate:
Since its foundation in 1114 Klosterneuburg abbey has been growing wine and therefore is the oldest wine estate of Austria. With 108 Hectares of vineyards it is one of the country‘s largest and most renowned estates. The vineyards are situated in selected top locations in Klosterneuburg, Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen and Tattendorf.

Since the year 2009 it is the first carbon neutral wine estate in Europe.

Collection:
What makes our single-vineyard wines stand out is the particular choice of hand-picked grapes. The wine is made from grapes grown in individual vine-yards with a long tradition, and the Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate has been cultivating some of the individual sites for centuries. A highly selective and target-ed harvest ensures the ripest of grapes, while the process of ageing the wines – done partly in small wooden casks – guarantees that they can be stored for several years while maintaining their high quality.
