Tegernseerhof Mittelbach Rosé Wachau Federspiel 2025, 0,75 L

Rosé can be many things: unimportant, interchangeable, or simply pleasant to look at. This Wachau rosé clearly does not fall into that category. It is a wine that brings immediate pleasure from the first sip, with a well-judged balance of fruit, freshness, and elegance.

The finest hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes are gently cool-pressed together with a small proportion of Zweigelt and fermented in stainless steel tanks in the classic manner. The nose is already highly inviting, with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and redcurrants alongside delicate herbal notes and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is juicy, light on its feet, and precise. The lively Wachau acidity provides freshness, while the fine fruit lingers, encouraging another sip. This is exactly how a rosé for summer should taste.

Tegernseerhof has been among the leading wineries in the Wachau for many years and, with this Federspiel, once again demonstrates that the region excels in more than just Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. The cool nights along the Danube lend the wine its freshness and elegance, while the ripe grapes contribute generous fruit.

Whether enjoyed with grilled fish, summer salads, antipasti, or simply on a relaxed evening on the terrace, this rosé feels at home in any setting. It appears uncomplicated, yet offers far more than one might expect at first glance. For this reason, we consider it one of the finest summer companions from the Wachau.
