2023 Arndorfer Rosa Marie (Skin Ferment), Kamptal, Austria Black Estate Alsace Grand CruCertified Organic. Zweigelt macerated for around 14 hours on skins before direct pressing, then fermented crushed Grner Veltliner grapes for 14 days in stainless steelin other words, this is a ros made like an orange wine but with red fruit on white grape skins! During fermentation, the Grner skins add spiciness and complexity to the black and purple fruit aromas of Zweigelt. To make things as hands on as possible, all of the skins are hand destemmed.
