Tiefenbrunner Linticlarus Pinot Noir Riserva
Wine Description
The LINTICLARUS Selection includes the premium products of the Tiefenbrunner Castel Turmhof Estate Winery and are produced only in exceptional vintages. The name “Linticlarus” is taken from the name of the former Roman fortress "castrum linticlar" in Entiklar. Aged 12 months in French oak, the wine is deep garnet in color, and has a fine cherry bouquet. Balanced and round in flavor, it shows plenty of structure and is well-proportioned. The goal of this selection is to combine the highest potential of both the vineyard and the vintner’s art in order to produce inimitable, world-class wines.
