Ried SATZEN Pinot Noir 2015

Ried Satzen: awakens near and distant passions – at the same time Even the first documented references from the 15th century indicate that this vineyard was extremely suitable for special viticulture: “Setzen” – a name that could be understood as a call. Today, Malat grows both the local St. Laurent and the international Pinot Noir here. Predestined for Burgundy, the humus-rich upper layers provide a generous supply of nutrients for the vines. The quartz content and chalky gravel layers of the Old Danube underpin the sensitive Burgundy grapes with a balanced minerality. At the same time, the loose soil prevents moisture from too much accumulation, thus protecting against rot. As a Pinot Noir that is often compared to Burgundy. As a local St. Laurent, the Austrian interpretation of Burgundy. Two specialities from one vineyard: Ried Satzen.
