The 2021 Hahndorf Hill The Foundling Saint Laurent is a refined Adelaide Hills red that showcases the elegance and spice of this rare Austrian variety in a cool-climate Australian setting. Handpicked fruit was wild-fermented and matured in French oak, building texture and savoury complexity while preserving freshness and aromatic detail.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering flavours of cherry, blackberry and dark plum layered with cardamom, forest floor and subtle earthy spice. The wine is silky and finely structured, with integrated oak and savoury depth leading to a long, balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore elegant cool-climate reds beyond Pinot Noir or Shiraz. Saint Laurent combines freshness, spice and fine structure, making it both distinctive and highly food-friendly. Drinking beautifully now and capable of cellaring through to 2035. Ideal with duck breast, roast lamb, mushroom dishes or chargrilled vegetables.
