Winemaker’s note: “Combining the new with the proven, rethinking the local with the international, that is the basic idea behind this wine. The main part is Rösler, a PiWi (fungus-resistant) grape which provides a deep color and a restrained tannin structure, complemented with Merlot.”
Grapes: 70% Roesler, 30% Merlot
Vineyard: loess, planted in 1962, 1979 and 2008
Vinification: manual harvest. Open-vat fermentation on skins with manual stirring. The process naturally extends, thanks to the cool cellar temperatures of the room, over several weeks. Free-run juice only, no press. Further aging takes place in steel tanks for about one year. Bottled deliberately cloudy in order to preserve the valuable ingredients and to keep the wine’s original character.
Personality: fruity and velvety, with harmonious tannins.
