Rosé Pinot noir 2025

Vintage 2023

For the Rosé we used Pinot noir from Ried Hutweide in Teesdorf, picked on 25 September 2023. In the Thermenregion the 2023 harvest was 16 % smaller than the year before, a steeper fall than in any other Lower Austrian area.

Medium-dry, with raspberry notes and a lively acidity. The quantity: 2.000 litres. At competitions the Rosé Pinot noir 2023 collected gold at the Thermenregion Wine Awards 2024.

Ried Hutweide

The grapes for Rosé Pinot noir 2023 grow in the Ried Hutweide vineyard in Teesdorf, on pure gravel that holds hardly any water and naturally has little humus. Its rows are green all year, sown with clover, phacelia and buckwheat instead of grass. We use no herbicides.
