Interesting Facts:
St. Laurent is one of Austria's distinctive native red-wine grapes and is closely related to Pinot Noir. Like Pinot Noir, it can produce elegant, aromatic wines with bright cherry and berry fruit, but St. Laurent often brings deeper color, darker fruit and a slightly spicier character.

The grape's unusual name is traditionally associated with St. Lawrence's Day on August 10, around the time the grapes begin changing color during véraison.

Baron.ess is produced by Bioweingut Landauer-Gisperg in Tattendorf, a family winery in Austria's Thermenregion. The estate emphasizes handcrafted wines and has been certified organic and vegan for more than 16 years.

Serve: 55–60°F. No lengthy decant is necessary. With the 2020 vintage, open and taste first; 15–20 minutes of air should be plenty.
