Meinklang Prosa

This lightly fizzy biodynamic and natural rosé blends Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch from Burgenland's Neusiedlersee, and its cool, sandy loamy soils. After a short maceration and pressing, native fermentation started in stainless, and finished in a pressurized tank. Just off-dry, with a mouthful of fresh raspberries, cherries, wild strawberries and a gentle riff of skin tannins to counter. Very pure and honest view of the grapes, with a very light spritz, and at a welcome 10.5%. Brunch buddy.

(2018) A low alcohol blend of Zweigelt, Pinot Noir, St Laurent and Blaufränkisch, I guess this would count as a 'Pet Nat', a trendy new term for gently sparkling 'natural' wines and this has the credentials: biodynamic, closed with a beer bottle crown-cap and with only 10.5% alcohol. It is only gently effervescent, the colour lovely ruby/pomegranate red, with delicate strawberries and cream aromas. In the mouth the frizzante style gives a lively edge to crisp and flavourful red berry fruit, a hint of sweetness swept up in lovely, clear apple core dry acidity. Delightful.
