🍇 100 % Zweigelt Rose juice + skins of Grüner Veltliner
Region: Austria
Farming/Vinification: The idea behind Vorgeschmack Rose is an extraordinary Rose wine with great drinkability… Martin and Anna keep the Rotburger juice up to 14 hours on the skins in order to extract the bright cherry fruit character of the grape. After pressing this wine, which is fermented with native yeast they add some skins of Grüner Veltliner, to extract the spicy character of Grüner and add some tannins. We keep the wine on these Grüner skins of the fermenting juice for 8 days.
After pressing, they age 70% in stainless steel, and 30% in French oak (used barrels). Just before bottling Martin and Anna blend, and add 15 mg/L of sulfur. No fining and no filtration.
Notes: Zippy, bright and a little on the wild side. Thurst quenching aromas of fresh strawberry, watermelon, orange marmalade and a hint of balsamic.
