This is a bottle of Schilcher rose wine from Weingut Familie Sternat of South Styria in Austria. I had never heard of the wine until I met it at the Food Expo this year. It turns out that it is made from a grape I had not previously encountered - Blauer Wildbacher. Properly speaking, Schilcher wines are only produced in West Styria, but both South and Southeast Styria also produce this style of wine, so the wine above is really Schilcher style rather than genuine Schilcher wine. The above wine does not carry the emblem of the Lippizan white horse bred for the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna either.
As for this wine, it was a lovely rose pink with a fruity berry nose. The palate was dry with hints of fruit and berry, accompanied by a lemony acidity which continues through to the finish as support.
