Rosé 2008
Rosé is made out of red wine grapes. Contrary to red wine the grapes used for Rosé are pressed
almost immediately after the harvest. During this short period the juice takes up only little colour
from the grape skins and the wine attains the typical Rosé colour. The character of Rosé wines
lies in between white and red wines. They combine the fresh and juvenile fruitiness of whites with the
fullness of reds. Therefore fruity red wine varieties are preferred in Rosé production. We like to
use Blaufränkisch grapes because of their frisky acidity and their distinguished flavours.
Tasting notes: Our Blaufränkisch Rosé 2008 shows a beautiful red colour. The aromatic
bouquet already tells its fruity character. The Rosé inspires with an exquisite freshness that
emphasizes its strong body and the fine acidity. Rosé is a great summer wine and ideal for
contemplative hours.
