Umathum Rosa 2025

Umathum Rosa is a critically acclaimed, serious Austrian rosé from the Burgenland region. Crafted by the iconic biodynamic winemaker Josef Umathum, it is a vibrant blend of Austria’s three flagship red grapes: Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent, and Zweigelt. Mature vines (up to 45 years old) grown on gravel and schist soils in the villages of Frauenkirchen and Jois. 

Umathum's styling is always decidedly minimal intervention, featuring biodynamic farming and hand harvest. Vines are up to 45 years old and bring a complex minerality from the gravel, schist soils throughout the estate. This compelling and unique rose is prepared in the 'saignee style' where the Red varieties are vinified with skin contact to accentuate the flavor and color. The result is an elegant fuchsia complexion.

Enticing aromas of ripe raspberry and black cherry are layered with subtle spice notes. Juicy yet tightly structured on the palate, the wine reveals flavors of wild blueberry, rhubarb, and mulberry framed by fine tannins and moderate acidity. Lingering hints of pink peppercorn and allspice carry through the finish. Not only is this wine perfect for summertime sipping but it also ages beautifully making it a perfect fall food pairing option.
