From 18 year old vines planted to a mixture of sandy, loamy and chalky soils. All were hand-harvested in early September, vineyard sorted and de-stemmed before spontaneous fermentation begins and and lasting 2-3 weeks, with temperature control. Aged for 8 months on the lees in stainless steel. Unfined and lightly filtered.

True to the motto “Rosé for everyone”, the Pittnauer Konig Rosé is a cuvée for every occasion: it is inviting and stimulating, puts you in a good mood and looks great on the terrace, on the beach and with food. The Rosé König consists of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and St. Laurent grapes, which were hand-picked from specially cultivated vineyards on the right bank of Lake Neusiedl.

The meteorological conditions in 2023 were as exciting as ever. The spring was fortunately rainy, the summer was sometimes changeable and often hot, but without breaking any records. The harvest then took place in mostly sunny weather and generally ideal conditions. All in all, we think 2023 was a very good vintage for both red and white grapes.

The Rosé König was pressed after a few hours of mashing, spontaneously fermented and then aged in steel tanks for a few months.
