Winemaker(s): Pia Strehn — widely known as Austria’s “Queen of Rosé,” crafting unconventional, character-driven pink wines that combine precision with playfulness.

Winemaking: Hand-harvested grapes; gentle pressing; stainless-steel fermentation followed by ageing in large oak tonneaux for extra texture and complexity. Unfiltered and made with minimal sulphur.

Name Meaning: “Der Elefant im Porzellanladen” — “The Elephant in the China Shop” — a cheeky nod to how unapologetically bold and rule-breaking this rosé is.

Interesting Fact: Inspired by the fuller-bodied rosés of southern France, yet anchored in Burgenland’s clay-and-limestone soils, which bring freshness and mineral drive.

Serve With: Brie or Camembert, grilled shrimp, seared scallops, herb-roast chicken, ratatouille or roasted veg.

When to drink at Christmas: When you want to impress – or if you have a friend who thinks all Rosé is Whispering Angel
