Muenzenrieder, Pinot Noir, Reserve, 2021, Burgenland, Austria
Producer Profile
The Muenzenrieder wine-growing estate lies in the neusiedlersee/seewinkel national park. Through natural cultivation methods, rigorous harvest scrutiny, and controlled cellar operations, winegrowers Johann and Johannes Muenzenrieder produce potent wines marked with regional characteristics and tremendous intensity.
Enjoying the special microclimate of the sun drenched seewinkel aera, fruitful, fresh white and dense, robust red wines flourish. the adjoining lake neusiedl and numerous small marshes of the area serve as heat reservoirs, providing ample amounts of air moisture. Consequently, the ideal conditions for the cultivation of the coveted “noble rot” (botrytis) are set, allowing for the vinification of high-class sweet wines.
Viticulture
Sourced from the Ried Römerstein single vineyard made up of crushed stone and black earth.
Winemaking
Fermentation in stainless steel, followed by 14 days maceration and malolactic fermentation. 12 months in French oak barriques prior to bottling.
Tasting Note
Dark berry fruit with a hint of orange zest. Smoky nuances with a hint of tobacco follow. Dense and juicy with fine-grained tannins making this wine a pleasure to drink now but will continue to develop with time in bottle.
Goes well with
Anything with pork, duck, beef stews, and mushrooms.
Cellaring
5-7 years.
