Lergenmüller Urgestein St. Laurent Trocken 2021
BLUEBERRY, WILD CHERRY AND DARK ELDERBERRY. FULL-BODIED PFALZ ST. LAURENT WITH PEPPERY SPICE, SMOKY TOBACCO AND SOFT, VELVETY TANNINS.
A cornerstone of red-wine production at Lergenmüller.
Urgestein translates as a long-established figure or original character—a fitting name for this robust St. Laurent from the Pfalz. The variety delivers generous dark fruit while retaining the acidity and structure required for graceful development.
Blueberry and wild cherry lead the aromatic profile, accompanied by dark elderberry and wild-berry notes. Peppery spice and hints of smoky tobacco add savoury complexity, preventing the abundant fruit from becoming overly dominant.
The palate is full-bodied and structured, with soft tannins providing a smooth foundation. Its pronounced acidity introduces freshness and supports the wine’s ageing potential, while decanting reveals an increasingly velvety texture.
Firmly rooted in the winery’s red-wine tradition.
And appropriately difficult to overlook.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red with dark purple reflections.
Lush aromas of blueberry, wild cherry and elderberry emerge from the glass, followed by pepper, wild spices and subtle smoky tobacco.
Robust and full-bodied on the palate, with concentrated berry fruit, pronounced acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. Decanting reveals a more rounded, velvety texture and a persistent, gently smoky finish.
