A deep, almost provocatively dark ros\u00e9 that is more reminiscent of a classic claret than the pale, fashionable representatives of the category. A wine with ambition and character is already visually heralded here.<\/p>\n
The flavour is remarkably precise and focused, with a cool, almost Nordic expression of Sour cherry<\/strong> and redcurrant<\/strong>. Mineral notes of wet rock and a hint of earthy spice shimmer underneath. Nothing pleasant, nothing playful - this ros\u00e9 demands attention.<\/p>\n The palate reveals a structured, almost Burgundian-style ros\u00e9 with taut acidity and remarkable texture. The red berry flavours continue seamlessly, accompanied by a fine salinity that hints at the iron-rich clay soil. The eighth month on the lees has given the wine a subtle mellowness without compromising its precision. A ros\u00e9 with backbone and length.<\/p>\n Clemens Krutzler demonstrates with this ros\u00e9 made purely from Blaufr\u00e4nkisch that Burgenland can produce more than just powerful red wines. The 20-year-old vines from the Ratschen vineyard and the careful vinification with a short maceration period and ageing in used 500-litre barrels result in a wine of remarkable depth. A rare find with only 1,500 bottles.<\/p>\n The structure and complexity predestine this ros\u00e9 as a serious accompaniment to food. Excellent with grilled tuna<\/strong>, Duck breast with cherry sauce<\/strong> or Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms<\/strong>. Also to Cheese dishes<\/strong> with middle aged Mountain cheese<\/strong> a convincing choice.<\/p>\n This ros\u00e9 boldly defies the mainstream of light, sweet wines in its category. The long ageing on the lees and maturation in wooden barrels give it a complexity that is rarely found. A wine that skilfully blurs the boundaries between ros\u00e9 and light red wine and will develop over several years. A statement wine that shows what is possible in Burgenland.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palate<\/h3>\n
