Kamptal, Austria
2017

This was the unanimous favorite of our Rose' Class in 2017 and it has continued as one of the most popular offerings that we have had on the shelf. 
?At the Taste of Reston this year, the crowds could hardly get enough.

A perfect wine for the hot, humid, "dog days" of August. You can chill this wine to your hearts content and know that it will still offer a ripe, luscious flavor and a refreshing crispness that will both slake your thirst and make you impatient for the next sip.

I don't think you can make it  through the month without a good supply of a wine like this in your cellar!!

89 points Anne Krebiehl
 This very pale rosé just teases with its hints of berry on the subdued nose. 
These become evident as strawberry notes on the light, dry and very slender palate. 
This is light, fruity and spells summer refreshment. 

88 points The Wine Enthusiast
Citrus rather than red fruit plays on the nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon rosé. 
The palate echos that zesty verve, finishing lip-smackingly dry. 
An easy but fun summer wine.)   (7/2017)

The Winemaker's Thoughts .........

 The color is a very pale rose' from the very short time skins are allowed contacted with the juice. The Aromas of flowers, ripe, red fruit and dewy meadows translate to a soft. but lengthy palate with a crisp, mouth-watering finish. Nicely balanced with excellent character and interest.
Perfect complement to reef fish, shellfish, light appetizers and vegetarian dishes.

CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE.....

For many years, sustainability has presented an important theme in agriculture – and increasingly so in wine production. Acknowledging this, in a project spanning the course of several years, the Austrian Viticultural Association has developed an online-tool for measuring the sustainable work practices of the domestic wine production sector. With this, Austrian winegrowers can conduct an autonomous evaluation of their own establishment, and, as of spring 2014, in one additional step can apply for a certification of sustainability. Certified estates may then add the declaration ‘certified sustainable’ along with the estate’s registration number to their label, if they wish. Shown here are variants of the logo for use on wine labels.

A BIT ABOUT THE VINEYARD..........
 

Wine Region Kamptal: The name Kamptal refers to the Kamp river. This beautiful area is filled with culture and tourism, which are enhanced by the numerous Heurigen (vineyard taverns) and Vinotheques.

Karl Steininger is one of the initiators of the Loisium. The wine project is nestled in the vineyards of Winery Steininger. It combines world class architecture and a mystical underground world of wine. (www.loisium.at)

Wine Village Langenlois: The family-run winery is situated in Austria’s biggest wine growing village, Langenlois, the heart of the Kamptal. Soil and Climate: Loess with gravel, dynamics between the hot, Pannonian lain in the east along with the cool Waldviertel to the northeast, interplay between hot days and cool nights. This confers great aromas and vigorous acidity to the grapes.

Production: Grüner Veltliner represents over 50% of the production. It can be found in different styles, from a light summer wine to powerful and voluminous full-bodied wines as well as dessert wines and our speciality - the sparkling wines, which are produced according to the traditional bottle fermenting method.
