Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir

ROSÈCISTERCIEN - The valley of the Danube and its side-valleys belong to the 'Cool climate' areas of Austria. Some vineyards are even too cold for red wine making. Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the cooler sites of Gobelsburg and Langenlois are used for the 'Rosé CISTERCIEN'.

Tasting Note: The Rosé CISTERCIEN shows a lovely fresh pink and offers a clear and fresh, subtle fruit and lovely zesty bouquet of red and white fruits. Medium-bodied, lovely acidity and zippy on the palate. The Rosé CISTERCIEN drinks like a white wine and is a perfect companion for the whole evening or a lovely pairing for everything that asks for freshness and more acidity.

SCHLOSS GOBELSBURG, a Cistercian monastic estate, is one of the oldest wineries in the Austrian Danube area with a documented history that dates back to 1171. All the vineyards are located on slopes and terraces around the valley of the river Kamp near the town of Langenlois and the village of Gobelsburg. Schloss Gobelsburg specialises in Grüner Veltliner and Riesling and produces authentic and noble wines from different single vineyard, village and regional appellations. The winery is member of the association 'Österreichische Traditionsweingüter', which is working on a vineyard classification project for the Danube area.
