2013 Mittelbach Rosé of Zweigelt; Lower Austria


tegernsRose2013WebThe Tegernseerhof is situated in the middle of one of the most beautiful winegrowing regions in Austria. The Mittelbach family’s Tegernseerhof, located in Unterloiben, just below Dürnstein, boasts a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. The original facilities were built in 1176 by the Benedictine community of the Tegernsee Abbey. At the time, the abbey was recognized as a center for literature, the production of illustrated books and erudition. The abbey and its vineyards were first mentioned in a small book about the Tegernsee vineyards in 1427. For centuries, the abbey was where the Bavarian monastery produced its wine. At the turn of the 19th century, it was acquired by the Austrian Empire and decades later, it went into private ownership.
Franz Mittelbach and his wife, Mathilde, are the fifth generation of Tegernseerhof owners. Since the 1970s, they have been continuously running the Tegernseerhof as a family business. Today, Martin Mittelbach, the son of Franz and Mathilde, has carried on this tradition.

The beautiful coral pink, onion skin color is enough to get your mouth watering. The bright, fruit-filled nose is filled with delicate cherry and red currant notes. The crisp, refreshingly dry, light to medium-bodied palate is perfectly balanced and showcases the fresh cherry and delicate red currant flavors. Very elegant and a joy to drink, this is delightful rosè. Perfectly at home on any picnic, delicious with fried chicken, and tames the heat when paired with spicy dishes. There is also a slight watermelon note that makes it perfect for summer sipping and a great pairing with barbecued shrimp. This is one of the most popular rosé wines we sell every year so grab it while we have it
