2021 Weingut Schloss Gobelsburg Rosé "Cistercien", Kamptal, Austria

ABOUT THIS WINE

For the Cistercien Rosé, the Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir grape varieties grown in the cooler sites of Gobelburg and Langenlois are used. After the harvest, the grapes –still with their stems - are softly pressed and then fermented. This type of rosé is somewhat similar to a white wine because no acid reduction is used to emphasise the fine fruity character with a streamlined elegance. Its fragrance and fruit nuances of wild cherry and fresh berries make this Rosé an optimal universal food companion
