Lilith Blauburgunder Rosé DOC - Griesserhof

A rosé with character and depth, plus a hint of seduction: Lilith Blauburgunder Rosé DOC - Griesserhof brings the elegant side of Pinot Noir from Alto Adige brilliantly into the glass. The delicate salmon pink shines clear and bright, like a summer evening in the mountains above the Isarco Valley. Fine reflections in light copper play in the light and already whet the appetite for the first sip.

On the nose, the wine appears clear and precise. Ripe strawberry and juicy raspberry emerge first. Behind them follow red currant, a hint of cherry and a delicate scent of rose petals. Fresh herbs such as lemon balm and a touch of mint add a cool accent. Delicate notes of white peach and a hint of blood orange blend in harmoniously. A fine, stony minerality recalls the meagre soils of the Isarco Valley and gives the nose a clear, elegant structure.

On the palate this rosé appears dry, precise and at the same time surprisingly creamy. The texture flows soft and silky over the tongue. The red fruit remains present: strawberry, raspberry and red currant form the core. A hint of grapefruit and blood orange brings tension and juiciness. The lively acidity provides freshness and length without sharpness. The body presents itself as medium-weight, elegant and at the same time surprisingly powerful. The creamy structure feels like finely woven silk and carries the aroma right into the long finish.

The typical Pinot Noir grape clearly shapes the style. It brings fine red fruit, delicate spice and an elegant structure. Alto Adige, with its alpine climate, lends freshness, clarity and pronounced acidity. Warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen perfectly while still retaining aromatic tension. This creates a rosé that goes far beyond simple terrace wines and shows real ambition.

The aromas unfold in layers. One sip, and the wine presents these impressions one after the other:

• Juicy strawberry and fresh raspberry as a clear fruit base
• Red currant and cherry for tension and grip
• Delicate floral notes of rose petals and elderflower
• Fine citrus nuances of grapefruit and blood orange
• Lightly mineral, stony nuances from the alpine terroir

On the palate, the wine appears straightforward, animating and at the same time creamy. The acidity is clear but never harsh. The structure remains fine, almost silky. The tannins appear only very delicately and give the wine a light grip that balances the creamy texture. The finish once again shows strawberry, some blood orange and a hint of herbal spice. The result is a rosé that offers a great deal of pleasure both on its own and with food.

Production of Lilith Blauburgunder Rosé by Griesserhof

The grapes come from selected sites in Alto Adige, in the South Tyrol DOC. Here there is a unique interplay of alpine altitude and sunlight. Steep slopes, barren gravel and moraine soils as well as calcareous inclusions shape the terroir. These soils store the day’s warmth and release it slowly at night. At the same time, the altitude ensures cool nights and a long ripening period.

Pinot Noir, known in South Tyrol as Blauburgunder, is considered a diva in the vineyard. It demands a lot of attention but rewards with fine fruit and great elegance. At Griesserhof, the grapes ripen with moderate yields. In this way, the aroma concentrates in every berry. Harvesting is carried out carefully, with a focus on optimal ripeness and aromatic freshness. Only fully ripe grapes make it to the cellar.

For this rosé, the producer presses the Pinot Noir very gently. Either the juice runs off from the red wine must as saignée, or contact with the berry skins remains brief. This gives the wine its delicate salmon pink and at the same time intense fruit. Pressing is gentle in order to avoid bitter notes and to preserve the fine structure of Pinot Noir.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Cooler temperatures preserve the fresh fruit and delicate floral notes. Selected cultured yeasts carry out the fermentation cleanly and clearly. This results in a wine with a precise aroma profile and brilliant freshness. After fermentation, the rosé matures further on the fine lees. This lees ageing lends the creamy texture and additional depth. Targeted stirring of the lees increases fullness and smoothness without masking the freshness.

Maturation in stainless steel puts the grape variety and the terroir in the foreground. No wood overlays the fine fruit here. Instead of vanilla or toast, clear strawberry, raspberry and cool minerality dominate. Griesserhof focuses on precision, juiciness and elegance. This creates a rosé that presents the character of Blauburgunder in a fresh, modern form.

Bottling into the 0.75-litre bottle with natural cork underscores the estate’s commitment to quality. The DOC classification confirms the controlled origin from Alto Adige and the focus on clear origin profiles. With good storage, this rosé continues to mature for a few more years, gaining in delicacy and harmony.

Enjoyment recommendations for Lilith Blauburgunder Rosé by Griesserhof

This rosé pairs excellently with a wide variety of dishes. Its creamy texture and lively acidity accompany both light cuisine and finely seasoned dishes. As an aperitif, it opens a menu elegantly and stylishly. The red fruit and freshness stimulate the appetite and set the mood for further courses.

With starters, the wine harmonises with char trout carpaccio, salmon tartare or marinated prawns. Fresh goat cheese with herbs, vitello tonnato or fine antipasti with grilled vegetables also make ideal partners. The fruit of the wine combines with the seasoning of the dishes to form a harmonious whole.

For main courses, this rosé accompanies light meats such as poultry, veal or tender pork fillet. It goes particularly well with oven-baked lemon chicken, veal saltimbocca or poultry skewers with Mediterranean vegetables. Pasta with seafood, tomato risotto or creamy mushroom risotti also gain additional polish from the wine.

Vegetarian dishes likewise benefit from the fine structure. Ratatouille, gnocchi with sage butter, fried green asparagus or couscous with roasted vegetables are excellent matches for this rosé. The fresh acidity cuts elegantly through creamy sauces and rich components and ensures balance.

For cheese, a selection of mild varieties is recommended. Fresh goat cheese, young pecorino, mild taleggio or creamy brie are excellent matches. Air-dried ham, bresaola or fine salami from Italy also create an appealing interplay of spice and fruit.

For perfect enjoyment, the serving temperature should be between 11 and 13 degrees. This allows the wine to show both its creamy texture and its delicate fruit. Slight cooling in the refrigerator is sufficient, then let it breathe in the glass for a few minutes. A tall white wine or universal glass brings out the aromas ideally and emphasises the structure on the palate. Short-term storage in the refrigerator and dark, cool cellaring extend its optimal drinking window. As a stylish gift for rosé lovers or as a companion to summer evenings on the terrace, this Pinot Noir rosé from Alto Adige ensures brilliant moments.
