Most definitely in the pink! With the focused composure of the vibrant, smoky, but at the same time warm-hearted voice and deep charisma of Nat King Cole, the character of this Blaufränkisch stands miles apart from the customary kitsch that rules the realm of rosé wine. Packed full of fruit, but with a pert way about it and straightforward about its rather lascivious curves, its ‘wild & wind-blown’ spirit should set the mood, a rosé that’s right ready to ramble. Quite lyrical for its bright red berryish and above all honest fruit, leading into a crisp & dry finish, the 2021 Naked Rosé celebrates the sheer beauty of conviviality among friends and the great joy sometimes found in small things. This Blaufränkisch grows in vineyards on slopes of the Leitha Mountains in Winden and Breitenbrunn that face southeast toward Lake Neusiedl and are distinguished by the typical, regional fossil-rich limestone, calcareous sandstone and mica schist. Grown, vinified & bottled according to biodynamic principles in the eternal cycle of nature (and with a lot of manual labour and conscientious care). Harvested by hand at the end of September, mostly whole clusters pressed directly; a small portion spent a few hours on the skins. Spontaneous fermentation and malo, five months aging on the gross lees in clay amphoras, bottled unfiltered without the addition of sulphur.
