Rosé Brut Nature

Wine Overview

Rosé Brut Nature is a precise and highly refined traditional method sparkling wine, made from Pinot Noir in a fresh, structured and terroir-driven rosé expression. It comes from the vineyards of Loidesthal and Blumenthal in the Weinviertel, where calcareous loess soils provide minerality, tension and a distinctive saline character. This is not a simple or lightweight rosé sparkling wine, but a structured and gastronomic interpretation with depth and complexity. Extended lees aging brings creaminess, finesse and aromatic layering while preserving vibrant acidity and precision. The result is a pure, linear and highly expressive sparkling wine. Contains sulfites.

Wine History

This Rosé Brut Nature originates from one of the most promising sparkling wine areas of the Weinviertel. The vineyards of Loidesthal and Blumenthal offer ideal conditions for Pinot Noir used in traditional method production. The winemaking philosophy focuses on purity, precision and terroir expression rather than stylistic excess. Grapes are hand-harvested in small crates at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and fruit integrity. The aim is to create a sparkling wine with identity, structure and international relevance while remaining true to its origin.

Vineyard Philosophy

Vineyard management is based on sustainability, biodiversity and respect for soil balance. The calcareous loess soils ensure drainage and mineral expression, which directly shape the wine’s structure and tension. The continental climate with warm days and cool nights allows slow ripening, preserving acidity and aromatic precision. Intervention in the vineyard is kept to a minimum to maintain natural balance. Hand harvesting ensures strict selection and consistent quality.

Winemaking and Grape Variety

Pinot Noir is gently whole-cluster pressed to achieve a delicate and refined base juice. The base wine matures for around ten months in stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels, combining freshness with structural depth. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle, followed by approximately 24 months of lees aging. This long maturation develops complexity, creamy texture and fine, persistent bubbles. The result is a structured, elegant and highly precise sparkling wine.

Tasting Notes and Food Pairings

Color: pale salmon pink with fine and persistent bubbles.
Nose: elegant and complex, with red berries, strawberry, raspberry and subtle nougat and nutty notes.

Schödl Winery

History of the Schödl Family

The Schödl winery represents the evolution of a family deeply rooted in Austrian viticulture, where knowledge is passed down long before becoming a business. Mathias, Viktoria, and Leonhard grew up surrounded by wine culture, thanks to their father, a viticulture teacher in Klosterneuburg. Despite this strong influence, they initially pursued different paths, keeping the vineyards as a secondary activity, more emotional than professional. The turning point came in 2017, when they decided to fully commit to the family project. This led to international experiences that shaped their modern vision of wine. Leonhard’s time with producers such as Matassa and Testalonga had a lasting impact, steering the winery toward a more conscious and minimal-intervention approach. From that moment, Schödl became a focused and identity-driven project.

Vineyard Philosophy: Biodiversity and Respect for Nature

Work in the vineyard is central to the Schödl philosophy, guided by the idea of preserving natural balance and enhancing biodiversity. The vineyards are located in the Weinviertel, northeast of Vienna, an area known for its rolling hills and diverse soils. At altitudes between 200 and 250 meters, loess dominates, alongside clay and rocky components, creating ideal conditions for expressive wines. The continental climate, with warm days and cool nights, allows slow ripening while maintaining freshness and acidity. Organic farming is not just a choice but a necessity: the goal is to build a living ecosystem where vines, insects, and plants coexist naturally. This approach ensures authenticity and complexity in every bottle.

Winemaking Approach: Time, Precision and Tradition

In the cellar, Schödl combines technical expertise with artisanal sensitivity. The family’s passion for Champagne strongly influences their style, particularly in their focus on extended lees aging and slow maturation. The use of the traditional method defines part of their identity, emphasizing structure and aromatic depth. Fermentations are handled carefully, avoiding unnecessary interventions and allowing the wine to evolve naturally. Manual processes such as punch-downs ensure gentle extraction and full control over the process. The result is wines that are precise, energetic, and highly drinkable, with a strong sense of identity.

Territory and Style: Elegance, Freshness and Precision

The Weinviertel is a defining element in the Schödl style. This region, stretching from the Manhartsberg to the Slovak and Czech borders, offers ideal conditions for producing elegant and vibrant wines. The combination of soils and continental climate results in wines with bright acidity, finesse, and purity of expression. The Schödl family interprets this terroir with a modern mindset, constantly balancing tradition and innovation. Their wines are dynamic, evolving over time while maintaining clarity and character. Schödl is today one of the most exciting emerging wineries in Europe, recognized for its authenticity and strong connection to the land.
