This medium salmon-colored wine was vinified entirely from Austria's most planted red wine grape, Zweigelt, which is a cross between Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. When vinified into red wine, many describe Zweigelt as tasting similar to Pinot Noir. Bottled with a Stelvin screwcap, this wine was opened and serially tasted over two hours. Sporting a light spritz and modest reductive notes which dissipate after the first 30 minutes, it offers moderately intense aromas and flavors of Montmorency cherries, strawberries, Hami melon and pickled ginger. Light-bodied, fresh, unoaked and without noticeable alcohol (listed as 11.5%), it has good mid-palate presence and concludes with a medium-length, lifted finish. Enjoy this refreshing rosé over the next year or so. Drink now-2024.

An Applejack buy. I assume this is Pinot Noir, or blaubergunder.
Color. Pale salmon pink
Nose. Rhubarb, cherry skins, strawberry, and limes.
Palate. Cherries, strawberries, blood orange. Crisp acidity.
Very delicious!

Light color and body, but the flavor is more intense. Strawberry, and general fruitiness. Overall fresh and pleasant, nice acidity, and easy to drink.
