The Rosé Petershof from Weingut Christ in Vienna’s Jedlersdorf district is made according to strict quality principles. The grapes, mainly zweigelt, are hand-picked, gently whole-bunch pressed and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel without unnecessary fining. On the nose the wine shows red berries, rosehip and a touch of citrus, with floral nuances and subtle spice. The palate is juicy, crisp and straightforward, driven by fresh acidity and a fine mineral edge. A dry, refreshing finish makes this rosé an excellent match for traditional Heuriger dishes, summer salads, grilled fish and light Mediterranean food.
Between the Danube floodplains and the Bisamberg, in Vienna‑Jedlersdorf, Weingut Christ has farmed these outskirts for centuries. From a mixed family holding, the 1980s marked a decisive turn toward wine alone—today carried by Rainer Christ and a distinctly Viennese sense of place....
Zweigelt is Austria''s leading red grape, producing cherry-scented wines with soft tannins, fresh acidity and gentle spice. It is a crossing of Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent.
The variety is appealing because it is juicy, versatile and food-friendly. Pair Zweigelt with roast chicken, pork, schnitzel, burgers, mushrooms and mild cheeses.
