PINO 3000 Wein auf über 3.000 m Seehöhe

Matured on the summit of the Gaislachkogl

PINO 3000

What began as an idea of some wine enthusiasts is now a multi-award-winning Pinot Noir: PINO 3000. Three world-class winemakers from Austria, Germany and Italy have combined their best selection of Blauburgunder grapes. The three-country wine unfolds its distinctive and noble character while ageing at an altitude of 3,048 metres.

From concept to completion

Creating a wine with select grapes from three countries was an experiment that three renowned winemakers and Das Central endeavoured. In 2011, they started producing the world’s first 3-country Pinot Noir. Yet, the challenge was not big enough, so the PINO 3000 was to mature at an altitude of over 3,000 metres. In the heart of the Alps.

The PINO 3000 wine-growers

The wine for PINO 3000 comes from the Austrian vineyard Paul Achs in Burgenland, the German vineyard Dr. Heger and the Italian winery St. Pauls in South Tyrol. They each contribute two of their best Pinot Noir barrels for the three-country wine. Thus, they create the perfect basis for this rare wine.

The storage location is as unique as the wine itself: PINO 3000 matures high above Sölden in the ice Q, Austria’s highest 2-toque-awarded restaurant and filming location of James Bond’s SPECTRE. At the summit of the Gaislachkogl, PINO 3000 unfolds its unmistakable aroma in the specially built wine cellar. Because of the extreme conditions like cool temperatures, altered oxygen content, and low atmospheric pressure, we give the extraordinary wine more time to reveal its noticeably fruity character.

The journey of PINO 3000

PINO 3000 is stored in wooden barrels in the ice Q wine cellar until being transferred to the St. Pauls winery in South Tyrol for blending and bottling. The unique Pinot Noir then returns to the summit of the Gaislachkogl, where it matures for another year. Try it, and you will see that it is worth the effort.

Special distinctions

Review from July 2021: Deep carmine-coloured garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Subtle leafy nuances, a hint of sun-drenched underwood, red berry, crisp cherry, dark minerality, touches of graphite, underlying black fruit. Complex, juicy, ripe sweet cherry, delicate notes of cranberry, fine tannin texture, extract-sweet and balanced, finesse-rich acidity, salty and persistent, subtle chalky nuances, delicate hints of red fruit in the finish, an excellent length. A multi-faceted match for a variety of dishes with good ageing potential. (Drink until 2040)
