Sparkling 'Pretty', by Maria and Alex Koppitsch
This immense sparkling rose blends two of our favourite red grapes grapes - Syrah, (or Shiraz) and Blaufrankisch, a grape widely grown across Austria. Amazingly delicious and full of flavour - lemon, baked apples, strawberry. If you aren't that familiar with Austrian wine, this is the perfect wine to change that.
Maria and Alex Koppitsch run a small family operation, disgorging all 3,000 bottles of this wine by hand. By pressing the grapes as whole bunches they’re able to retain the fruity
flavours in the final wine. And that is definitely the case here. To quote them “it smacks you in the face like the most delicious berry punch you’ve ever had”. Yes please.
Why we chose it?
We love winemakers that chose quality over quantity. A wine made with love, packed with flavour, but without taking itself too seriously.

Pretty
This is a 50/50 blend of Syrah and Blaufrankisch. Everything is about keeping the wine fresh and fruity and true to its natural origins. Whole bunches directly pressed, low (natural) temperatures, no additives or filtration. An amazing natural summer wine to enjoy with friends, served nice and cold.
