Vintage 2025

We harvested our St. Laurent selection 2025 on 19 September 2025, at 20 °KMW. Austria put over a third more wine into its cellars in 2025 than in the weak year before. Widespread frost did not strike anywhere that year.

St. Laurent has its place in our selection range, made as a dry red. This vintage comes to 2.500 litres.

The 2025 harvest

The quantity: 2.000 litres. The St. Laurent selection 2022 earned gold at the Lower Austria State Wine Awards, gold at the Thermenregion Wine Awards 2024 and 95 points at the Organic Wine Award International.

Our St. Laurent selection 2021 came from the Ried Gestein in Teesdorf, and it has since sold out at the estate. The harvest was on 29 September. The vines had made a late start that year, only budding towards the end of April. Austrian vineyards were spared spring frost in 2021, though.
