Frizzante Rosé - Paul Direder

A delicate, shimmering salmon pink shines in the glass, traversed by a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, juicy aromas of ripe strawberries, fresh raspberries and red currants unfold, accompanied by a hint of citrus zest and a subtle floral note. On the palate, Frizzante Rosé - Paul Direder shows an extra dry style with vibrant freshness, clearly structured acidity and a light, dancing mousseux. The texture appears elegant and buoyant, the body deliberately remains light, while the finish lingers medium-long and leaves red berry tones with an animating play of fruit.

This vegan rosé sparkling wine comes from the traditional grape variety Zweigelt, which finds ideal conditions in Austria’s Wagram region. The vines take root in fertile loess soils, which lend the grapes particularly delicate aromatic expression. In the glass, this results in a varietal Frizzante with a clear, fruit-driven profile and a moderate alcohol content of 11.5% vol. The combination of fresh acidity, fine mousseux and extra dry vinification gives the wine a refined balance of lightness and aromatic depth.

Production of the Frizzante Rosé by Paul Direder

The grapes for Frizzante Rosé - Paul Direder come from Wagram in Lower Austria, a landscape characterized by gentle hills, a Pannonian climate and distinctive loess soils. Warm days and cool nights promote slow ripening, allowing intense fruit aromas and a clear acidity structure to develop. The loess stores warmth and water, supports the vines and imparts particularly fine red-berry aromatics to the Zweigelt.

The harvest is carried out by machine in order to bring the grapes quickly and gently into the cellar. There, preservation of freshness is the top priority. The berries are quickly transferred to the press; a short contact with the skins gives the rosé its attractive color and the typical red berry aromas. The must then flows into stainless steel tanks, where fermentation takes place under temperature control. This preserves the delicate fruit completely.

Aging in stainless steel tanks ensures a crystal-clear, fruit-driven style without any wood influence. After the base wine has been produced, it is transformed into Frizzante, during which a fine, lively perlage is created. The residual sugar of around 11 g/l meets a total acidity of about 6.6 g/l and creates a harmonious, extra dry flavor profile. The winemaker focuses on precision, purity and elegance, which is reflected in the clean lines of this Rosé Frizzante. The result comes across as modern, animating and stylishly on point.
