On the variety and origins of this wine: For the production of this pale-reddish wine, only red grapes are used. The light coloration is due to quick pressing of the juice from the grape skins. This Rosé consists largely of Zweigelt, a classic Austrian variety, which was created at the Klosterneuburg School of Winemaking when Professor Zweigelt crossed Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent.
Since its foundation in 1114 Klosterneuburg monastery has been growing wine and therefore is the oldest wine estate of Austria. With 108 Hectares of vineyards it is one of the country‘s largest and most renowned estates. The vineyards are situated in selected top locations in Klosterneuburg, Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen and Tattendorf. Since the year 2009 it is the first carbon neutral wine estate in Europe.
The wines bearing the Stift Klosterneuburg crest are the mainstay of our range of wines. Our classic wines are youthful, fruity and characteristic of their varieties.
