Tasting Notes
Method
The Rosenquarz is a sparkling wine produced according to the old “ancestral” method of bottle fermentation. Best grape material is sourced and no yeast, sugar or sulphur is added. This sparkling rose is made from the red grapes Zveigelt and Blaufrankish and the wine is bottled before the primary fermentation finishes thus trapping the CO2 in the bottle as well as yeast lees. Unlike traditional method sparkling wines where the yeast is removed from the bottle, this ancestral method sparkling wines retains the yeast in the bottle. Each bottle ferments individually and is unique.
