The first documented record of St. Laurent in Austria dates back to 1860. According to the latest findings, this is a spontaneous cross with the mother grape Pinot Noir. As it happens from time to time, the father vine of this union is genetically not ascertainable at the moment. However, this is likely to be a very dark grape clone that is now extinct. Recently, the St. Laurent has been experiencing a renaissance and enjoys a high esteem again.

Technical Data:
| Specifics of the vineyard | The "Umriss" vineyard is the largest vineyard on the "Ruster Hotter". It extends from the highest elevation towards Oslip down to the foot of the hill. The vineyards slope in a southeasterly direction. A limestone ridge runs through the upper part of the site. The soil types are varied. One finds rendzina, brown earth and colluvium on loamy sand. Our St. Laurent vineyards are located in the upper part of the "Umriss" vineyard and do not have a direct view of the lake. This is very important because this variety is precocious and susceptible to rot. |
