St.Laurent is a red wine grape which is something along the lines of a Pinot Noir with a wild side. A notoriously difficult vine to cultivate, the quality of a St.Laurent wine can tell you a lot about the talents of a winemaker- and in the case of Birgit Braunstein, talent abounds. She describes the wine as being juicy, dense and elegant all at the same time, with ripe notes of wild cherries, along with other black skinned berry notes. It spent 9 months in oak barrique, and this aging helped the wine to find its balanced body.
