2015 Domäne Wachau Zweigelt Rosé Terrassen Federspiel

Domäne Wachau

Austria / Wachau / Domäne Wachau

Most of the fruit is Zweigelt from Weissenkirchen, Wösendorf and Joching. The sandy loess soils in some parts of these villages yield particularly fruit-driven and elegant wines. The Zweigelt vines are cultivated mainly on steep, terraced vineyards. The grapes were hand-picked at the end of September, then destemmed and crushed. After several hours of maceration, some of the must was separated and vinified like a white wine.
Bright, vibrant pink; open and playful on the nose, with delicate aromas of redcurrant, ripe bramble fruit, wild strawberries and a little spice. It's fruity and medium-bodied on the palate, well balanced with refreshing acidity.

About Domäne Wachau

Very much a revitalised wine estate, Domäne Wachau draws on some of the very best vineyard sites in the Wachau. It produces wines that are powerfully regional and offer outstanding value as an introduction to the great wines of the region. The Domäne Wachau Terrassen and single-vineyard wines are sourced from the best grapes grown on the steep terraces of the Wachau. These high-quality wines are vinified with conscientious focus on terroir and express the mineral character derived from the primary rock soils of the Wachau. They're also some of the very best-value wines that we import.
