Winemaker Notes
Founded in 1907, the winery has for generations been focused on tradition, sustainability and top quality wines, all dedicated to the divine delights of our products.
St. Pauls has a fascinating natural variety of locations that together make up its terroir. Dating from the last ice age, the hills with their differing soil types offer an ideal setting for each vine. Ideal conditions for excellent quality, complex wines that are bursting with power and elegance. The experience and sensitivity of winemaker Wolfgang Tratter are matched with the highest quality objectives to ensure an authentic realization of the unique merits of our terroir: complex red and white wines that manifest a perfect symbiosis of fruit, finesse, elegance and minerality.
Approachable, aromatic and pleasantly plush on the palate, Pinot Blanc is a white grape variety most associated with the Alsace region of France. Although its heritage is Burgundian, today it is rarely found there and instead thrives throughout central Europe, namely Germany and Austria, where it is known as Weissburgunder and Alto Adige where it is called Pinot Bianco. Interestingly, Pinot Blanc was born out of a mutation of the pink-skinned Pinot Gris. Somm Secret—Chardonnay fans looking to try something new would benefit from giving Pinot Blanc a try.
