Notes & Pairings
This walks a fine line between Siller/dark Rosé and a light skin contact despite three weeks of maceration in open vats. Light on punchdowns and fermented in tank, the farming allows a long maturation that yields a color that suggests something far more intense than what it is. It’s got some grip to be sure, but not overly drying, it carries the acidity well, and like all of the Losonci wines, there’s never a sense of picking too early in order to hit the natural wine high water mark for SO2. Holds up super well over many days, it’s a great BTG option in the crowded skin contact market.
