Region: Südsteiermark (Styria), Austria

Grapes: Rotburger (Zweigelt)

Alcohol: 12%

Karl and Eva Schnabel are shaking things up in Styria, Austria. While their neighbours are mostly known for white wines, the Schnabels focus on reds like Zweigelt, which is also called Rotburger. This rosé comes from the rocky Kreuzegg vineyard and is aged entirely in stainless steel to keep it as crisp as possible.

It is an invigorating pink that is both herbaceous and packed with wild strawberry flavours. While it is light and fresh, there is a surprising density and complexity to it that sets it apart from your typical summer bottle. It is a wild, fun wine that shows just how serious a rosé can be.
