Winemaker's Notes:

As recently as 1998 the wines of Gerhard and Brigitte Pittnauer were lodged in a small cellar under the family house in Gols. But since the new winery was built in time for the 2001 vintage they have not looked back. The domaine which counted 6 hectares in 1998 now totals 22 hectares with an impressive range of new wines. Gerhard has resisted the temptation to produce a bit of everything, as so many of his colleagues do, and he is almost exclusively a red wine producer, concentrating on St Laurent, Pinot Noir, Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt. New oak is used, though perhaps a little less than previously, but the wines have a charming, supple texture and flavour, which only the most competent winemakers can manage. He still champions St Laurent as his favourite variety, and his 40 year old planting makes a defining example of this unique grape - a grape which works well with some new oak. But increasingly we have customers responding well to both his Pinot Noir and Blaufränkisch. The Blaufränkisch is richer in 2006 than 2005, with a return to the ripeness and sweetness of fruit which won so many friends for the 2004.
