Christoph Hoch Rosé Rurale 2019
Details:
Producer: Christoph Hoch
Vintage: 2018, 2019, 2020
Variety: Zweigelt, Saint Laurent, Muscat Ottonel
Country: Austria
Region: Kremstal
Terroir: Limestone
Farming: Certified Biodynamic
Fining/Filtration: None
Added SO2: None
ABV: 10.5%
Description:
Demeter-certified sparkling wine from Hollenberg, Austria. Christoph started making wine at the family winery in 2009, and shortly thereafter started the conversion of the vineyards to biodynamics.
The soils here in Kremstal – essentially solidified river sediment which is rich in calcareous matter – are very well-suited to the production of fresh and direct sparkling wines, which Christoph makes by blending together different base wines from different sites, varieties and vintages.
This “2019” pet-nat-style sparkling rosé was bottled in 2020 using base wine from 2018, 2019 and 2020, and is zweigelt-dominant.
