2021 - Zweigelt, Grüner Veltliner
The Rosa Marie is medium bodied with notes of dried strawberry, lime zest, and herbs.
Zweigelt macerated for around 14 hours on skins before direct pressing, then fermented crushed Grüner Veltliner grapes for 14 days in stainless steel–in other words, this is a rosé made like an ‘orange wine’ but with red fruit on white grape skins! To make things as hands-on as possible, all of the skins are hand-destemmed. Aged for six months in 2/3 stainless steel and the rest in neutral French barriques. Bottled by gravity with no fining nor filtration. 8 mg/l SO2 added at bottling.
