Hartl, Pinot Noir, Krautergarten – 2021

A refined showcase of Austrian terroir, Hartl Pinot Noir Krautergarten 2021 is an elegant single-vineyard expression that highlights the finesse, purity, and complexity of premium Pinot Noir. Crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in the renowned Krautergarten vineyard, this exceptional vintage reflects meticulous vineyard management and thoughtful winemaking, resulting in a wine of remarkable balance and sophistication.

Brilliant ruby red in color with delicate crimson hues, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, strawberry, and red currant, beautifully complemented by floral notes of violet, subtle baking spices, forest floor, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture, revealing vibrant layers of juicy red berries, cranberry, and plum, supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Gentle oak maturation enhances the wine’s elegance while preserving the freshness and purity of its fruit, creating a beautifully harmonious and expressive profile.

The finish is long, smooth, and gracefully persistent, leaving lingering notes of red fruits, delicate spice, earthy nuances, and subtle oak that add depth and refinement to every sip.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, soft cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served at 14–16°C. Decant for 15–20 minutes before serving to fully reveal its elegant aromas, silky texture, and layered complexity.
