Weingut Ingrid Groiss - Hasenhaide Rosé 2023

For centuries, the Groiss family has grown grapes in Austria’s largest wine-growing region, Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), and more specifically in the northern subregion of Weinviertel. This area, known for its diverse terroirs and loess soils, produces excellent white wines from indigenous grape varieties, including Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Gemischter Satz (a traditional field blend). Weingut Ingrid Groiss operates as a true small family business with Ingrid at the helm, her father helping with tractor work, and her mother assisting in the vineyards. The family oversees 20 hectares (49.4 acres) of organic vineyards, crafting a focused range of wines, including four single vineyard wines grown on 50-year-old vines. Ingrid Groiss studied winemaking at Universität für Bodenkultur and returned home to eventually inherit vineyards from both her mother’s and father’s sides of the family. Upon taking over the family vineyards, Ingrid converted them to organics and narrowed their range to produce only wines that reflected their terroir, grape variety, and vintage. 

8 hour maceration on the skins. Destemming and gentle pressing. Vineyard yeasts and neutral yeasts. Aged on full lees in stainless steel.

Everything about this wine is tender: the soft pink color, the subtle nose of berries, the gentle lemon freshness. This is lovely, light and ever-so-fresh – made for a warm summer nights.

"The 2023 Rosé Angel's Kiss Ried Hasenhaide is made from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Zweigelt from a site on the Czech border, amongst Austria's northernmost vineyards, on limestone. This was made in stainless steel only, after 4-8 hours of skin contact, to achieve a pale pink color. Pepper and lemon-tinged redcurrant shine on the nose, exuding freshness. The palate is full of crunch and freshness. The 2023 is a bone-dry, clear-cut pink wine that brings freshness, fruit and acid structure with a total refreshment factor and a peppery finish." - 90 Points, Vinous
