Ried Rosenberg St. Laurent 2015
Character
The Rosenberg exhibits confidence, but is by no means intrusive. Dark berried fruit plays an important supporting role in an otherwise earthy-spicy ensemble. Cool and mysterious, it reveals its core essence coyly and in subsequent facets, seducing with chameleonic fragrances that lead you to simply never want to put down your glass. Refreshing acidity is the cool breeze that lifts the wings of drinking enjoyment, while the firm spine of tannin is the tightrope act between groundedness and light-footed agility: tightly strung, precise, superb balance.
Origin
Grapes stem from the Rosenberg site, an east-facing slope of the Leithaberg (Leitha Mountains) that is dominated by mica schist.
