WEINGUT STREHN – The elephant in the china store 2022

Gerhard Hofer, des vitrines, la presse :
Pia Strehn had this idea six years ago. At the time, she wanted to make an exhibition on the wines of Provence. She therefore tasted the best rosés and turned to the rosés from the south of France, sweet and creamy, aged in barriques. Pia could not resist. A tel vin also had to arrive in Deutschkreutz. It's been in the bottle for a while now. Un rosé fin, puissant et fibreux, 100 pour cent blaufränkisch, du Mittelburgenland finalement.
La jeune viticultrice recommande le bœuf tartare pour accompagner son éléphant rose. Chez les Strehn, les étiquettes sont organisées en fonction des animaux. And the rosé is just mortellement éléphantesque. "Un éléphant dans un magasin de porcelaine", you can read on the label. "Parce que c'est un vin très peu conventionnel", says Pia. Le vin supporte un grand verre à bourgogne. For Pia Strehn, rosé has a perfume of aromas, of pêche and "of orange sanguine". And since then, I don't know which is the most bizarre for me: an éléphant de vin rose or a viticultrice who sends orange sanguine in her rosé.
Un rose saumoné clair. On the nose, an intense and inspiring fragrance of sanguine orange, pomegranate, bourbon vanilla and herbs. En bouche, corps plein, juteux, rond, fruit intense et longue finale.
