Eisenstadt Sankt Laurent

Piercingly bright acidity sheathed in bitterness and vivid mountain-berry fruit. We have a Redlove apple tree, which produces fruit with thick red skin and deep pink-red flesh. It’s unbelievably fragrant, and has stunning flavour, but you have to brave the acidity and tannins. This wine just reminds me so much of those apples. The acidity has wincing intensity but it’s intensely moreish at the same time – in the way that certain chillies and bitter or sharp foods have you going back in for more. Pitanga berry, wild strawberry, the sharpest of redcurrants, and a winter-bark stemminess. Best sipped with a triple-cream cheese or glistening, salty, piquant charcuterie.
