Familie Reinisch, Estate Pinot Noir, 2023

Here's an easy way to sound like you've been everywhere: pour a friend a great Pinot Noir and tell them it's from Austria. The Reinisch family farms 40 organic hectares in the Thermenregion, just south of Vienna, and this estate bottling is their friendly, everyday introduction to what the region can do with Pinot. It's built from a wide field of clones grown on cool limestone sites, given a touch of whole-cluster and a light hand with oak so the fruit stays bright and honest. No fuss, no heaviness, just genuinely delicious Pinot that overdelivers. This is the bottle that turns a skeptic into a believer.
