Peter Wetzer Rose

In 2007 Peter Wetzer purchased five different vineyards around the town of Sopron, in the northwest part of Hungary. Born into a winemaking family, he was driven to make wines naturally with minimal intervention. Peter works Kékfrankos on five different vineyard sites that add up to 2.5 hectares. He additionally has 1 hectare of furmint vines planted near the Ság volcano, and another hectare of vines from a few different varieties like Pinot Noir.

"This wine is mostly made from Pinot Noir, macerated on the skins for a short period of time before being pressed off into tank for fermentation. A small amount of Kekfrankos is also used for structure. The aim was to make something between rosé and red wine, so after a year in barrel the wine is bottled." - Juice Imports
