“S” grape entries

St. Laurent

One of the better varietals for Austrian red wine, and famous in the central and eastern European regions of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Similar in weight, flavor profile and tannin structure to Pinot Noir, St. Laurent can be coaxed into fine examples of elegant and fruity red wine when yields are kept under control. St. Laurent ripens early, but buds even earlier so spring frost can be a problem, but it is otherwise a very productive vine. Flavors and aromas of red fruits, black currants and lavender are common.
