The 2025 Rose Cistercien, a blend of Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir, is an explosively textural wine that has undergone some secondary fermentation in bottle. That said, it's a very fun, wild ride. Spritzy, mousse-like bubbles carry a raging river of fresh wild strawberry, limestone-like mineral cut and deep, orange-peel-like pithiness. This is so chiseled, not to mention utterly distinctive and super refreshing. What an interesting, joyful quaff
 
Winemaker Notes
For the Cistercien Rosé, the Zweigelt and St. Laurent grape varieties grown in the cooler sites of Gobelburg and Langenlois are used. After the harvest, the grapes – still with their stems – are softly pressed and then fermented. This type of rosé is somewhat similar to a white wine because no acid reduction is used to emphasise the fine fruity character with a streamlined elegance. Its fragrance and fruit nuances of wild cherry and fresh berries make this Rosé an optimal universal food companion.
