**St. Laurent** is a red grape most associated with Austria, a member of the Pinot family and a parent of the widely grown Zweigelt. **In the glass** — it shows a moderately deep ruby, with dark cherry and berry fruit and an earthy, Pinot-like perfume; the palate is medium-bodied, with fresh acidity and soft, silky tannins. **Where it grows** — chiefly Austria, notably the Thermenregion and Burgenland, plus the Czech Republic, Germany and other parts of central Europe. **At the table** — roast duck, pork and mushroom dishes. **Cellaring** — lovely young, but serious versions reward a few years in the cellar.
