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!

MISCELLANEOUS

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.
