Tasting note
A Zweigelt Rosé with fresh fruit, raspberry and cherry aromas and great structure. Very refreshing!
Open on the nose, strong fruit aromas, delicate spice; juicy fruit on the palate, harmonious and balanced with a fresh acidity. Beautiful drinking flow! The name Federspiel comes from falconry, which was very popular in the Wachau. The falcon symbol stands for the racy elegance of these dry white wines. Best drunk cool, fresh from the fridge. The wine should be drunk young, preferably within a year. Fresh from the fridge, the rosé is perfect as a summer wine for a casual afternoon on the terrace, beach or balcony.
COMPOSITION OF THIS ROSÉ:
Zweigelt
Rosé wine
Rosé wine (short: rosé) is a type of wine that gets its characteristic pink color from the contact of the red grape skins with the grape must during fermentation. Unlike red wines, however, the skins are left in contact with the must for only a limited time, giving rosé wine its light to intense pink color.
Rosé wine can be produced in several ways. The most common methods are direct pressing and the saignée method. In the direct pressing method, the grapes are lightly pressed to extract the juice without prolonged maceration with the skins. In the saignée method, part of the must is extracted from already vinified red wines and fermented separately as rosé wine.
Rosé wine is often served well chilled and is excellent as a summer wine or as an accompaniment to lighter dishes such as salads, seafood, grilled vegetables or light pasta dishes. Its vibrant color and pleasant taste make rosé wine a popular choice for connoisseurs looking for a fresh and fruity wine.
