In the glass
Aroma: rose petal, wild strawberry, raspberry, spice
Palate: candied red fruit, rose syrup, balanced acidity, elegant sweet finish
Franz Haas's signature Moscato Rosa - a rare native red dessert grape produced as a sweet wine. Distinct rose-and-red-berry register with elegant acidity that prevents cloying; the cellar's most distinctive bottling alongside the Schweizer Pinot Nero.
What it pairs with
-
Apple strudel with vanilla ice cream
The classical Tyrolean Moscato Rosa pairing; rose and red berry register flatters the strudel's spiced apple. -
Berry tart with mascarpone
Wild strawberry and raspberry register echoes the tart; sweet acidity meets mascarpone's richness. -
Dark chocolate truffles
Sweet red wine and dark chocolate is a textbook pairing; rose petal aromatics add complexity.
History
Franz Haas has bottled Moscato Rosa as the cellar's signature dessert wine since the mid-1980s. The grape itself is a rare native variety (the red-pink-skinned Moscato Rosa is unrelated to white Moscato) that ripens late and is typically vinified sweet.
