“I really love this one for so many reasons. One of the finest I have ever tasted from Styria.” – The Wine Advocate

“A Pinot that so many freaks would adore if only they knew it. If you love Loire red wines, this is a wine you should try.” – The Wine Advocate

We are unashamed Pinot Noir obsessives and that’s because no other grape variety connects as immediately to one’s emotions (in the same way that, in the arts, music can), and this wine took us to that rare and magical place that Pinot-lovers dream about, where you start to taste colours and smell sounds. It tastes of impossible things like molten rubies and liquid flowers! It’s ethereal and sensual, haunting your senses with its glorious aromas of hibiscus, orange peel, cherry juice, betel nut and even a little xylene (the pleasant smell, for us at least, found in a permanent marker pen!). The palate is silky and sinuous, yet rich and glossy. I could go on, but I’d just be chasing descriptive rainbows, which, in the end, is what keeps Pinot fans coming back for more. 12.5% alc.

Press review:

The Wine Advocate: “Gottfried Lamprecht's 2019 Pinot Noir vom Opok (opok is vernacular for a chalky marl soil) opens with a fascinatingly deep, pure, spicy and earthy nose with fresh black berry and forest aromas. Silky, lush, intense and full of ripe sour cherries, this is a generous, lush and finely grippy Pinot with fine tannins and spectacular length. This is an authentic Pinot on an excellent village level and one of the finest I have ever tasted from Styria. I really love this one for so many reasons: purity, mineral freshness, intensity yet also subtleness and this certain rustic grip on the finish. A rural Pinot that so many freaks would adore if only they knew it. If you love Loire red wines, this is a wine you should try (if you can). Drink now-2035.” 90 points
