Saint Laurent wine is grown mostly in Austria's Burgenland and Niederösterreich, where cool nights preserve its violet perfume and low tannin. The producers below work with it as a still red, ranging from light and juicy to structured and cellar-worthy.

Saint Laurent is one of Austria's oldest recorded grape varieties, documented in the Weinviertel in the nineteenth century and still grown almost exclusively there. It ripens earlier than most Central European reds — often weeks before Blaufränkisch — which makes it sensitive to site and vintage. In cooler years it stays light and perfumed; in warmer ones it builds structure and colour. Each bottle below is shipped directly from the producer's own cellar, with no importer or warehouse in between.

A Saint Laurent wine case is the producer's own selection of six bottles, put together as the recommendation they would make if you visited their winery. For a grape this regional, a case is often the most direct way to understand one estate's approach — tasting across their lineup rather than a single bottle. Free Grape Society is a society of producers, independent experts and wine lovers, not a shop.
The wineries below are among the small number working seriously with Saint Laurent outside its Austrian heartland. Most are in Burgenland or Niederösterreich, where the variety has been grown for generations, though a handful of producers in Moravia and Germany's Pfalz have taken it up in recent years. The wine-advice service is there if you would like a recommendation before choosing an estate.
Saint Laurent divides opinion — some find it straightforward, others consider it underrated and worth ageing. Independent wine experts review wines they have personally tasted, and their notes are visible on each wine page and on the expert's own profile. Several of the experts below have reviewed Saint Laurent wines featured on this page, so you can read their assessments before deciding.
Browse the wines above, add bottles to your cart and check out. Each bottle is shipped directly from the producer's cellar to your door. Free shipping is included, delivery takes between four and fourteen days, and you pay securely with Klarna or card.

Yes. You can add wines from different producers to your cart and check out in one transaction. Each producer ships their wines separately from their own cellar, so deliveries may arrive on different days, each within the four-to-fourteen-day window.
Average delivery is 8 to 9 days from order to door. The full range is 4 to 14 days depending on the producer's location and your delivery address. Wines ship directly from the producer's cellar, not from a central warehouse.
Saint Laurent changes noticeably with site and winemaking style — some producers make it light and early-drinking, others age it in oak for structure. Reading the producer's own notes is a good starting point. If you are unsure, the wine experts on this page can help you narrow it down.
Saint Laurent is grown almost entirely in Austria — principally in Burgenland and Niederösterreich. Burgenland's warmer, lake-influenced sites tend to produce more structured wines; Niederösterreich's cooler conditions bring out the grape's lighter, more aromatic side. A handful of producers in Moravia and Germany also grow it.

Free Grape Society works only with independent producers who bottle their own wine. Large-volume supermarket labels are typically sourced from brokers or co-operatives and do not reflect a single estate's work. The producers here grow the grapes, make the wine and ship it themselves.
In most European markets, Saint Laurent rarely reaches retail shelves outside Austria. Distribution is limited and most independent producers sell directly or through small importers. Free Grape Society connects you to those producers without the importer layer, which is why the range here is wider than what you will typically find in a shop.
Saint Laurent is one of Central Europe's oldest red grapes, with its strongest roots in Austria, where it has been documented for centuries. It grows particularly well in the Burgenland and Niederösterreich, two regions where warm summers and cool nights give the grape time to build both colour and structure without losing its characteristic freshness. The same variety appears in the Czech Republic, where growers in Moravia work with it under the name Sankt Laurent, and in Germany, though in smaller quantities. In cooler years, Saint Laurent produces pale, silky reds with red fruit and a faint earthiness; in warmer vintages it can reach a depth that surprises people who only know its lighter expressions. It is sometimes compared to Pinot Noir because of its thin skin and sensitivity to site, but it ripens earlier and tends to carry more colour. If you want to understand how much the same grape can shift from one cellar to the next, comparing a bottle from Burgenland with one from Niederösterreich is a good starting point.
Saint Laurent is a red wine grape that produces wines with a deep ruby colour and a profile built around red and dark cherry, violet, and a subtle spice that becomes more pronounced with a few years in bottle. It has medium to firm tannins and a level of acidity that keeps the wine fresh even when it is quite concentrated. At the lighter end, it drinks like a cool-climate Pinot Noir; at the fuller end, it carries enough body to pair with roasted meats, game, and dishes with mushrooms or earthy root vegetables. Duck works well, as does venison and slow-braised beef. Because Saint Laurent is relatively rare outside its home regions, many people encounter it for the first time through an Austrian producer rather than through a single famous appellation, which makes browsing by producer a more useful approach than browsing by region. The wines below come from independent growers who make it as part of their own range alongside grapes like Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt, so you can often taste how one estate's style runs across several varieties.
Saint Laurent rarely appears in supermarkets or large wine retailers outside Austria and the Czech Republic, which means that buying it through a conventional channel often means limited choice and little context about who made it or how. On Free Grape Society, producers ship Saint Laurent directly from their own cellar, with no importer or warehouse in between. The estates below are independent growers, not negociants, so the wine you receive is the same wine the producer would pour for you if you visited. Wines are tasted before listing, and independent wine experts review wines they have personally tasted, with their notes visible on each wine page. If you want to explore the grape across different styles before committing, the Austrian wines and Czech Republic wines pages show the full range of what is currently available, and Austrian mixboxes let you try a producer's own selection of six bottles as a single order.
