Found this 60% white wine grape content interesting in a red wine we paired with a spicy coconut milk based soup. Probably our first Czech wine.

Don’t think I’ve ever had a Czech wine. Those are Austrian varieties

Our favorite wine store has a round tiered display where the European wines that aren’t from the major wine countries are kept. It’s my favorite part of the store. We’ve bought a number of Croatian and Hungarian wines from it. This was the first Czech one I’ve seen there.

From wiki… St. Laurent (also Saint Laurent, or Sankt Laurent in German) is a highly aromatic dark-skinned wine grape variety grown in cool climate regions of central Europe, mainly Austria and the Czech Republic.[1] Its origin is uncertain, but the long-held belief that it is related to Pinot noir has been confirmed by DNA analysis, which shows it is an offspring of Pinot noir and a second parent, possibly Savagnin.[2][3] [4]

A) white/red cuvées happen all the time, most famously in the northern Rhone. B) I love St Laurent. Especially in Pfalz, it’s just such great value.
