Organic wine - profile

• Colour: Glossy light pink.
• Nose: This classic bright rosé reveals a potpourri of different red berry scents on the nose, with scents of tangerines and roses.
• Mouth: In the mouth and on the palate I find this wine both fresh and fleshy, with a hint of orange peel, the scents perceived with the nose contribute to the harmonious appearance of this wine, which ends with a nice length.
• Drinking Recomendation: Serve at 10 to 11° C, this high-quality rosé offers the perfect pleasure - please never serve it colder! Goes great with a seared tuna or chicken grilled with lemon and thyme.

In a small harvest of only 40 hl / ha, the content of vitamins and minerals in the grapes is much higher than for larger harvest volumes as it is allowed and achieved for example in Germany of an average with approximately 100 hl/ha. Consequently wines are tastier and more valuable at lower yields.

The grapes for this rosé wine were pressed immediately after harvest directly decanted cold and performed fermentation at low temperatures. In the usual red wines malolactic fermentation was dispensed with in favor of clarity and freshness in the wine.
