Pittnauer Pinot Noir by Gernot and Heidi Pittnauer from Burgenland, Austria is a confident, cool-climate expression that balances purity, savoury depth and effortless drinkability.

The nose is immediately inviting, showing sour cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry layered with dried rose petal, forest floor and subtle spice. The palate is fresh and finely detailed, delivering bright red fruit supported by gentle earthy notes, fine tannins and a lively mineral edge. Acidity is well judged, giving the wine energy and lift while allowing the fruit and natural savouriness to shine. The finish is elegant and persistent, with a lightly herbal, saline character. Pittnauer Pinot Noir 2019 is restrained yet expressive, offering complexity without heaviness. This Pittnauer Pinot Noir suits both early enjoyment and short-term cellaring.

Perfect alongside roast chicken, duck breast, pork cutlets, mushroom dishes or lentil-based vegetarian cooking, and impressive with alpine-style cheeses.
