CHARACTERISTICS

Even its name, Schiller, indicates that this is not a typical rosé with a delicate color and impressive aroma and lively taste. The wine has a clear, brick-red color, resembling juice from a cherry compote. The aroma is full of ripe red fruit, dominated by strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, and plums, with hints of minerals and spices. Medium-bodied, relatively rich on the palate, yet wonderfully fresh and juicy. A long-lasting finish.
