Pia Strehn Blaufränkisch Rosé, 750 ml

Description

The vinification: This refreshingly light and zesty rosé is crafted from 100 % Blaufränkisch grapes, indigenous to Central Burgenland in Austria. The grapes destined for this wine thrive in the cool microclimates atop parabrown earths underlain by a calcareous stratum. Nestled amidst the protective embrace of the Bucklige Welt in the west, the Ödenburg Mountains to the north, and the Güns Mountains to the south, the region is blessed with at least 300 days of sunshine annually and a modest rainfall of around 600 mm, cultivating the perfect climatic conditions for a wine of remarkable aromatic intensity. Harvesting is done by hand with meticulous care in the early morning hours, no later than 11:00 am, to shield the grapes from the intense heat of midday. Following harvest, the whole grapes undergo a gentle pressing, true to traditional methods, without extracting the juice. The spontaneous fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, followed by a four-month maturation on the fine lees, imparting the Blaufränkisch rosé with its signature flavour profile.

Tasting notes: Its brilliant, delicate pink hue with orange accents captivates the eye instantly and piques curiosity. The aroma is a fresh burst of citrus, underscored by the exotic note of prickly pear and rounded out by gentle hints of peach, strawberry, and the freshness of meadow herbs. On the palate, a vibrant fruitiness unfolds, perfectly balanced by a well-integrated acidity and a creamy body. The finish is enduring, marked by fine tannins and a lively, effervescent freshness that tantalises, beckoning for the next sip!

Food pairings: This wine is the ideal accompaniment to grilled fish and seafood dishes, risotto with root vegetables and gremolata, as well as an asparagus salad enhanced with raspberry vinegar. To allow its full bouquet of aromas to unfold, we recommend serving the wine chilled at 8-10 °C.

Pia Strehn

The Strehn winery from Deutschkreutz in Mittelburgenland (Austria) is known for pure, straightforward and individual wines. Pia, Patrick and Andy Strehn have set standards with their imaginative rosé creations, and not only in Austria. They are already the fourth generation to cultivate around 45 hectares of vineyards with vines up to 60 years old. Pia Strehn took the lead in progressively switching the production of the classic red wine estate over to rosé wines. Today, 80 percent of the grapes harvested are made into rosé wine. In the beginning, the vision was to create an alternative to rosé wines with mediocre popularity ratings. The role model was French rosé icons that had long since reached the pinnacle in the world of wine. Pia Strehn decided to turn their local Blaufränkisch into rosé and then also to age it in barrels. The different wines stand out not only for their colour and taste, but also for the original names and labels by Nikolaus Eberstaller, which were awarded the Red Dot Design Award. Today, the range comprises six different wines, from the light »Prickler« to the statement rosé »Elefant im Porzellanladen«, which is matured in wooden barrels. The basis for the wines is always the organically and sustainably farmed red wines from Deutschkreutz with a focus on Blaufränkisch. The »Elefant im Porzellanladen« is today considered one of the best wines of its kind.
