Rosé 2011
Rosé is made out of red wine grapes. Contratry to red wine production, 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 its typical Rosé colour. The character
of a Rosé wine lies in between whites and reds. It combines the fresh and juvenile fruitiness of a
white wine with the fullness of a red. Therefore fruity red wine grapes are preferred in Rosé
production. We like to use Blaufränkisch because of its frisky acidity and distinguished
flavour.
Tasting notes: Our Blaufränkisch Rosé 2011 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.
Drinking suggestions: Best to drink within two years after the harvest. Serve at 6-8° C
(43-47 F).
