Ain’t I am
a fan of shooting just released Pinot Noir down my gullet!? Not really! But today
it shalt be different. Why? Curiosity paired with a decent amount of desire for
Pinot! Curiosity – because I am not the biggest fan of Pinot Noir from the
Burgenland in the east of Austria
and desire – well, actually … non of your business! Anyway, great opportunity
to have another “Happening Now Tasting"! This time with Weingut Heinrich’s
– the famous one from Gols, the Gernot – Pinot noir Dorflagen 2012. The grape
material was hand-harvested in August 2012 from the biodynamic cultivated Ried
Goldberg and Ried Salzberg, spontaneously fermented in large oak tanks and aged
for eight months in used 500 l barrels. Last educational input for today: just
like its name - for German speakers, and the minusculed "noir", might
indicate: Entry Level Pinot - don't expect too much then!
