St. Laurent is a sensitive native Austrian variety and a special focus for Markus Iro; this single-site wine shows its serious side.

A family estate in Gols, Burgenland, focused on expressive reds from sites such as Hochreit, Herrschaftswald and Ungerberg. The winery was named Burgenland Winery of the Year in 2022 and 2023, while individual bottlings regularly win varietal and regional awards.
