About
Fresh raspberry and rose hip character over a light, dry frame — Wine Enthusiast calls it a refreshing, vibrant rosé that's easy to drink once well chilled. It's estate-grown on 18-year-old vines on sandy, loamy and chalky soil, hand-harvested in early September, spontaneously fermented, and aged eight months on the lees in stainless steel with no oak.
Gerhard and Brigitte Pittnauer work their Gols estate in Burgenland by hand, from composting through pruning. Their rosé comes from 18-year-old vines on sandy, loamy and chalky ground. The fruit is picked early in September, then fermented spontaneously. Eight months on lees in stainless steel builds detail without oak.
Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent and Zweigelt give the wine raspberry, rose hip and a dry red-fruit line. Its light body and brisk acidity make it an easy bottle to chill hard. Open it with picnic food, tomato salads or charcuterie. It is at its best when the bottle stays cold and the table stays casual.
Producer note
Gerhard Pittnauer took over the family vineyard in Gols in the mid-1980s at 18, after his father's death, and taught himself winemaking from there — later moving the estate to biodynamic farming and doing every step, from composting to pruning, by hand alongside his wife Brigitte.
