Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt
Oggau, Austria
Medium Body
Deep reddish pink in the glass, this is a "rosé" that can read like a very light, chillable red, with crunchy red fruit, subtle spice, and a streak of bright minerality.
Certified Biodynamic

Blaufrankisch & Zweigelt rosé from biodynamic vineyards in Oggau. Raspberry fairies swinging in a rhubarb patch. Just as good-looking and coveted as its creators, the stardust couple Steffi & Edi. Pair with sunrise, sunset and anything in between.
Winifred is the daughter from Timotheus’s first marriage, which ended suddenly when his wife disappeared mysteriously over night. Just like her cousins, Winifred has a winning and open personality, is sociable, and of a cheerful disposition. Upon a first encounter she can appear to be somewhat shy and reticent, but those that make her acquaintance remember her as a unique, refreshing and charming young lady with an inquisitive mind.
Age of Vines: 35 years old
Yields: 2.5 tons/hectare
Soil: Gravel
Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. This vineyard is used just to make a rose, so there is no saignee from a red wine. Fermentation takes place in used 500, 1000 and 1500-liter barrels. The wine goes through elevage in 500-liter barrels for about 8 months, with no batonnage. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero addition of sulfur.
