Pinot Noir,St. Laurent from Burgenland
| Description: | Food pairing Noble fish dishes, canapes & mild soft cheese. Producer The history of the Schlumberger family business begins with Robert Alwin Schlumberger, a 19th century pioneer who revolutionized the production of wine and sparkling wine in Austria. Schlumberger previously spent many years as cellar master and production manager of Ruinart Pere et Fils, France's oldest Champagne house. He then brought the Champagne method to Austria and founded the first and most traditional sparkling wine cellar in 1842. As a red wine connoisseur, he was also the first to introduce Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varieties to Austria. Talented and respected, he managed to get his "Sparkling Voslauer" selected for the wine list of Queen Victoria of England at the 1862 World Fair in London. In Vienna, Schlumberger became the "Royal beverage" and a favourite in Viennese society. Robert A. Schlumberger was appointed a supplier to the Royal and Imperial Court (k.u.k. Hoflieferant), and in 1878, he ascended to hereditary nobility as "Edler von Goldeck". |
