Heinrich Hartl III 2016 Rotgipfler, Thermenregion, Austria (Jen & Jerry)
Heinrich Hartl, a star in Austria’s winemaking cast, has been instrumental in bringing back the indigenous varietal Rotgipfler.

Soil with high limestone content makes Hartl’s Pinot Noir and Rotgipfler exquisite and interesting. Plums, melon, and spring blossom grace the nose while the palate exhibits mouth-watering acidity and notes ranging from green apple to pineapple. Enjoy this complex white wine with salmon with oven roasted vegetables, five-spice roasted chicken, or turkey.
