Rosé 2007
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 2007 shows a bright light red colour. The
aromatic bouquet already tells its full-bodied character. The Rosé inspires with an exquisite
fruitiness which comes into its own together with its opulent 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).
