The blush of a thousand-year-old vineyard
HK$105.00
The Story
The Tricollis Rosé is a masterclass in blending — four noble varieties from the Abbey's three historic vineyard slopes, unified into a wine of remarkable elegance and freshness. The Benedictine monks approach rosé winemaking with the same meditative precision they bring to all their work: patient maceration, gentle pressing, and cool fermentation to preserve the delicate aromatics of each variety.
Winery History
The Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma was founded in 996 AD and is one of Hungary's oldest and most sacred institutions, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Winemaking has been central to monastic life here for over 1,000 years. After Communist-era confiscation, the Abbey revived its viticultural tradition in the 1990s, opening its modern winery to visitors in 2004.
Appearance: Vibrant salmon-pink with copper highlights, brilliant clarity.
Nose: Exuberant and fresh — wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal, and a hint of pomegranate, with delicate spice notes.
Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced. Red berry fruit — cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant — with crisp acidity and a subtle creamy texture.
Finish: Elegant and persistent, with a clean, refreshing finish and lingering berry notes.
