Schiefer’s Rosé is drawn from Blaufränkisch rooted in the Muschelkalk (mussel chalk or shell limestone) of Leithaberg. Starting its initial fermentation as whole bunches, it’s really an orange-rosé hybrid; a bone-dry, phenolic, food-loving style that Schiefer has been working to perfect since the late 1990s. The juice is pressed off after three days infusion to continue its fermentation and élevage in large, old oak barrels.
If you’re expecting a provençal-style, easy-going rosé, you won’t find it here. This beauty is both bone dry and engagingly textured, with superb grip and racy acidity balancing out the wine’s delicious, mouth-filling notes of red fruits, hops and complex lees characters.

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
