These two grape varieties are the winery's defining characteristics. They have made St. Laurent their crown jewel, thanks in part to the vineyard's unique location. The second, Zweigelt, holds a particularly prominent place at Stift Kloster Neuburg. The winery once established the world's very first viticultural school. It was at this school that Dr. Fritz Zweigelt developed, indeed, Zweigelt in 1922. So, we can almost safely say that Stift Klosterneuburg is responsible for the great success of this indigenous grape.
Stift Klosterneuburg boasts several vineyards, each with its own unique character. These include Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen, and Tattendorf. The latter, in the state of Niederosterriech, is where you'll find the vineyards for this Stift Kloster Neuburg Rosé. After harvest, the process of creating this successful Austrian Rosé begins under the winemaker's strict supervision. After pressing, the entire wine is fermented in stainless steel to emphasize its freshness. Because the skins are only briefly fermented, Stift Kloster Neuburg Rosé retains its attractive color. The palate primarily features delicate notes of citrus, strawberries, and berries, combined with a pleasant freshness. The rich palate on the back of the tongue is striking, without becoming overpowering. This is impressive, and only the most renowned wineries can achieve this quality.
