2023 Gut Oggau Cecilia Rose Burgenland, Austria
$49.99
Steffi and Edi on this wine: “Meet Cecilia, the new family member! You see her, you taste her, you feel her, she inspires you. She doesn’t care about conventions, and won’t be put in a box. She shows you that it’s good to be a little bit different. Mixed in white and red, rooted on limestone she shines bright and proves there’s much more beyond the defined categories. A lover of horses, her soil releases distinct character; we know this is only the start of a beautiful journey we’ll share together. A journey into being one’s true self, without any pretension. Together with Cecilia, we care less about trying to impress, and only about remaining independent.”
Grapes: Gemischter Satz (field blend) of red and white grape varieties
Vineyard: 1.4ha plot on limestone that Steffi and Eduard have recultivated.
Making of: hand-picked. 2/3 of the grapes are pressed directly and 1/3 are crushed and shortly macerated. The must ferments spontaneously in large wooden vats and then matures in 1500l wooden barrels. No fining, no filter, no sulfur addition.
Personality: inspiring, idiosyncratic and delicious rosé.
