Perfectly made wines can often seem smooth and soon bore us. So, here is a new wine from one of our favorite winemakers from Austria: Wabi-Sabi.
Wabi Sabi wines are wines with a certain roughness, wines with an edge.
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is „imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete“. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū).
Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
In today’s Japan, the meaning of wabi-sabi is often condensed to „wisdom in natural simplicity.“

This Riverside Rosé is a Rosé or a light red, decide for yourself. We do not care about the color, we care about taste. This juicy, fruitdriven wine is composed of Rösler, Zweigelt and other regional reds and was vinified in used oak barrels for 12 months, without filtration or fining. Cool climate juiciness the way we like it!
