    Collection: Offspring Rosé

    WINE DESCRIPTION

    This diva-like and at the same time classy rosé is an extremely fruity blend of Pinot Noir and Shiraz. The grapes for this rosé were harvested (by hand, of course) in mid-September. After about six hours of maceration, the must was drawn into steel tanks, where spontaneous fermentation took place and ended with a natural residual sweetness.
    With a strong salmon pink and pink reflections, this serious drop brings color into your life and promises an exceptionally refreshing, feather-light drinking pleasure with a long finish.
    Dominated by raspberries, accompanied by cherry blossoms, the scent of pineapple and fresh lime notes, the ice-cold rosé is the ideal summer wine or the basis for a cocktail, although it also knows how to inspire in winter as "ski water for adults"! Wine redefined!

    As the name already suggests, the "Alten Weingebirge" is the oldest German Kreutzer wine-growing area, in which viticulture was already practiced in Roman times (or even earlier). At an altitude of up to 255m, climatically influenced by Lake Neusiedl, our vines grow with an average age of 30 years (the oldest from 1959) on loess loam soil with a slightly sandy layer and limestone in the subsoil.

    Sweet Wines

    Pfneisl Sweet

    Collection: Yellow Muscat

    DESCRIPTION


    For the first time in history, we produced a sweet wine in 2024. Harvested at 20.5 KWM, the Yellow Muscat grapes were fermented in steel tanks and stopped with a residual sugar of 65g/l.

    Fruity bouquet of fresh apple and pear compote. On the palate, an invigorating play of acidity that harmonizes well with the sweetness and gives the wine a lovely lightness, but with a long finish.

    Recommended for dessert, cheese or Asian cuisine!
