Gobblesburger Rose Description


  1. Gobelsburger,«Cistericen»,  Kamptal, Austria                                       

  • 60% Zweigelt 40% St. Laurent
    • Zweigelt and St. Laurent grapes harvested from the cooler sites of Langenlois and Gobelsburg
    • Brilliant clear rose color
    • More of a white wine- no maloactic fermentation is applied
      • Malolactic Fermentation
        • Process where malic acid, naturally present in grape must, is conversted to lactic acid. Malic acid is tart most people say malic acid tastes like green apples, lactic acid is softer. Lactic acid creates a rounder, fuller mouthfeel in the wine.
    • This is a universal food wine.
    • Tasting notes: decent bouquet of fresh cherry.  Softly fruity on the nose with a nice forest floor, floral undercurrent with creamy suggestions of raspberries dusted with a hint of talc. Light, lean structure with pungent acidity. Lingering finish accented with a bright minerality. Easy drinking rose that pairs well with a variety of food.
