Origin
Weinviertel, whose name means “wine district” in
German, is Austria’s largest winegrowing area, with
more than 20,000 acres under vine. Located north of
Vienna, the Weinviertel is of Lower Austria, the country’s
premier wine sector. The rolling hills feature soils mostly
comprised of loess, rock and calcareous clay, and the
climate is moderate, with relatively mild winters and
large diurnal swings between warm and cool during the
growing season. Pairings
Aromatic, fruity and dry, rosés succeed
with foods that might flummox
many reds and whites. Green salads,
especially with a bit of fruit or a sweet
vinaigrette, are a good match. A chilled
rosé also works as a refreshing counter
to smoky barbecued beef ribs and to all
manner of bright, exotically seasoned
Asian foods.Serve lightly chilled (56°F).
Winemaker
Located fewer than 50 miles north of
Vienna, the Hardegg Family’s castle
and vineyards lie close to the border of
the Czech Republic. The castle dates
back to 1188 and has been in and out
of the hands of the Hardegg family
ever since. Organic viticulture has been
important here for decades, and in
2006 the estate made the conversion
to biodynamic farming to maximize the
expression of the grapes. Fermentations
are handled naturally and maturation
takes place in classic oak casks. The Wine
This dry rosé from Graf Hardegg is a
new product, taking the flavor-packed
Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the estate
and extracting just the brightest hint
of color and taste for something truly
refreshing and accessible. Flavors of
strawberry and cherry are lifted with
hints of rosemary, spice and citrus zest.
A crisp, dry mouthful for a warm day,
the wine is delightful and charming with
a juicy, long-lasting finish. Recently Viewed :
