„The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds“ (Mark Twain). When we decided to implement this idea, the goal was clearly defined ... the best rosé from Pinot Noir & Zweigelt grape - we wanted to convey the fun and attitude to life at the highest level! Harvested by hand, after 3 hours on the skin we gentle press the clusters and ferment the must in stainless steel tanks to keep the tension.

Winery
The Tegernseerhof is situated in the middle of one of the most beautiful winegrowing regions in Austria – the Wachau, UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original facilities were built in 1176 by the Benedictine community of the Tegernsee Abbey. Today, Martin Mittelbach is the sixth generation of owners. Among the best-known, excellent locations and wines are Schuett, Hoehereck, Loibenberg, Steinertal and Kellerberg. As a member of the association “Vinea Wachau”, the vinification follows the regulations of the “Codex Wachau“ - a declaration of dedication to natural wine production and the strictest control. "The highest level of excellence must be the minimum we should expect from these wines." Martin Mittelbach.
