Details
This Austrian St. Laurent is a moody little beauty - dark, spicy, complex and bold. On the nose, you’ll find a rich mix of blackberries, mulberries, dark plum, and black cherries, layered with pepper, earthy dried herbs, and just a hint of smoke and spice. There’s even a touch of cacao in the background, adding a bit of depth and warmth. On the palate, there’s a subtle green bitterness running through - perfect for those who love a bit of edge in their reds.

Say hello to Familie Mantler, the proud producers behind our exclusive Good Vibes range, made just for Good Pair Days. This family-run winery has deep roots, starting back in the 1950s when 18-year-old Karl Mantler kicked things off. Fast forward three generations, and the estate is still thriving under the care of his son Thomas - affectionately known as both the “CEO and cleaning lady.” Thomas takes a hands-on approach to everything: from managing the winemaking, to tending the vines, and even hopping in the van to handle local deliveries. His down-to-earth style and deep expertise shine through in every bottle - especially in this standout, great-value range. The family specialises in the classic Austrian grapes you’d expect: Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Zweigelt for the reds - but they’ve also got a soft spot for the lesser-known Roter Veltliner. Despite having no relation to Grüner, and being a bit of an underdog in Austria, Thomas and the team have stuck with it and, we reckon, totally nailed it. Their version is fresh, elegant, and full of personality - just like the people behind it. Oh, and did we mention they practise organic viticulture too? Good wines, good people, and now... Good Vibes!

Pairing guide
This complex, slightly brooding St. Laurent calls for dishes with depth, spice, and a bit of earthiness to match its wild side. It’s fantastic with grilled lamb chops rubbed in rosemary and garlic, mushroom and thyme risotto, or charred aubergine with smoky paprika and tahini. The wine’s acidity and savoury edge also make it a great match for duck breast with cherry glaze, or spiced lentil stew with roasted root vegetables for a hearty vegan option. Anything with herbs, umami, or a bit of char will really let this wine shine.

Wine region
Weinviertel, Austria
Weinviertel is the largest wine region in Austria, located in the northeastern part of the country. Vineyards here are characterised by deep loess soils, which is well documented to contribute to the wines' distinct peppery and spicy flavours. The top wine style produced in Weinviertel is decidedly Grüner Veltliner, a dry white wine that is known for its crisp acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, and white pepper. Other notable varietals include Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, which produce medium-bodied red wines with fruit-forward flavors. The top sub-regions within Weinviertel include Falkenstein and Poysdorf, which are renowned for producing long-lived Grüner Veltliner wines. Overall, Weinviertel is a must-visit on Austria’s wine region bucket list.
