Editors notes
The 2018 Pittnauer Pitti Rosé is clean, graceful and crisp with lifted cherries, cranberry and subtle allspice. Pronounced and fragrant nose. Very fresh and smooth on the palate. Rich in flavour while retaining its usual delicacy of fruit and flow. An absolute delight!
Made from Blaufränkisch vines grown in various sites around the Neusiedlersee in Burgenland. Spontaneous ferment, followed by maturation for 6 months in stainless steel. The grapes are pressed as whole bunches.

Austria
Austria has a reputation for high-quality dry white wines, primarily from its native grape variety, Grüner Veltliner, and from Riesling. However, you can find many excellent red wines here, too. These come from native varieties including Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch as well as sweet, botryised dessert wines made from Welschriesling. Austrian wine-producing regions enjoy a cool continental climate, with short summers and harsh winters. Grüner Veltliner is the country’s most widely planted grape variety, and at their best, these wines are full-bodied wines with excellent fruit concentration and naturally high acidity. Welschriesling – not to be confused with Riesling – is the second most planted variety. Winemakers use Welschriesling in a number of winemaking styles, from high-acid, fresh dry styles to high-quality botrytised dessert wines. Other varieties grown in Austria include Riesling, Chardonnay, St Laurent, Müller-Thurgau, and Sauvignon Blanc.
