Hartl Pinot Noir Ried Krautergarten
Weingut Hartl
Austria - Niederosterreich - Thermenregion

Pinot Noir is clearly the dedication of the Hartl Winery.

Strong garnet red, tending a little more towards brick-colored at the edge. On the nose, a complex abundance of herbs and dark berries, raspberry jam, thyme blossoms, dill, sage and violets, as well as marzipan. Juicy on the palate, aromas of ripe raspberries, blueberries, rosehip tea and Mediterranean herbs, as well as hints of Assam tea. The elegant acidity gives the powerful body a firm framework and highlights the fine-grained tannins. In addition to its classic ripe, typical Pinot fruit, the wine shows subtle notes of toast and smoked bacon in the long finish.
