Wachau DACReserve Rosé 1805 2023

Intense and complex fragrance with spicy and smoky notes, intense fruit reminiscent of wild red berries and black currants, lilac lifted with dried herbs undertones; well-structured and powerful, yet tight, elegant and vibrant with a refreshing acidity, abundant fruit, a complex body and a long, lingering finish. Serve well chilled.

Work in the vineyard takes place based on sustainable and, increasingly, organic principles, without the use of insecticides or herbicides. Fully ripe Pinot Noir and Zweigelt grapes were handpicked. The grapes were destemmed and gently pressed after a few hours of maceration. The must was fermented spontaneously in small oak barrels. After fermentation the wine matured on the fine lees in used small oak barrels to achieve further depth and character.

This full-bodied and sophisticated Rosé wine is already very approachable in its youth but has potential to age for at least 3-4 years. Offering plenty of spicy aromas, it is the perfect accompaniment to light or spicy Mediterranean dishes such as a Shakshuka, a Picatta Milanese, antipasti with prosciutto and finocchiona (fennel salami) or a fish platter with tzatziki. It also ideally accompanies Austrian cuisine such as Minced roast, cabbage pasta or lamb shank with Provencal herbs. Also, for Far Eastern cuisine such as Thai Kho To (braised and caramelized fish) or vegetable tempura, this top rosé shines wonderfully.
