BLUE ROSE PÉT-NAT

2021

Ralf Wassmann and Susann Hanauer spontaneously bought a small old-fashioned winemaking property with grapes and peach trees in the southernmost region of Villány in 1998. Within two weeks of their first visit to Hungary, they packed up and moved from Germany (where Ralf was a winemaker) to Pécsdevecser, a once-Swabian settlement with German roots. They came to natural winemaking quite instinctively, wishing to make delicious, well-balanced wines with minimal intervention that respected the land on which they lived and worked. They were the first winery in Hungary to certify organic (2003) and the second to certify biodynamic (2011).

The Blue Rose is a Kékfrankos rosé pét-nat from 2023. The wine was pressed and the skins were removed immediately, but the ripe juicy grapes released color easily, giving a vibrant ruby color to the wine. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. Flavors like ripe blackberry and watermelon on the nose and palate. The wine is juicy, creamy with a great bright finish. Unfiltered, unfined and not disgorged, zero sulfur added.
