Common name in Hungary for a dark rosé produced from red wine grapes with a short maceration period (white wine grapes were also used in the past). The name is derived from the iridescent colour and etymologically corresponds to the German Schillerwein (which, however, uses white and red wine grapes). See a complete list of all wine types under winemaking.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
