For the Cistercien Ros, the Zweigelt and St. Laurent grape varieties grown in the cooler sites of Gobelburg and Langenlois are used. After the harvest, the grapes still with their stems are softly pressed and then fermented. This type of ros is somewhat similar to a white wine because no acid reduction is used to emphasise the fine fruity character with a streamlined elegance. Its fragrance and fruit nuances of wild cherry and fresh berries make this Ros an optimal universal food companion.

2016 Vintage Scores:

Loads of fruit show on the nose of this wine: green and red apple, strawberry and ample, zesty citrus. The palate is taut, fresh, dry and precise, shot through with appetizing fruity flavors. A wonderful, flavorsome ros, with or without food.

Best Rose of the year so far. Extremely fresh berry fruits with an ever so slight bubble! Enjoy at the beach.
