Biodynamic wine - profile

• This is what it looks like: Raspberry pink with a nice sheen.
  This is how it smells: The nose is aromatic with notes of red fruits such as wild strawberries and gooseberries.
• This is how it tastes: lively and tasty on the palate with juicy aromas of red cherries and blackcurrants, which in combination with the aromas of citrus fruits lead to a long finish and make you want to take the next sip.
• My drinking recommendation: This cuvée goes perfectly with aperitifs on a sunny afternoon or evening with tapas or with a chocolate cake (Sacher cake).

Biodynamic wine - processing, Château Romanin, IGP Alpilles Rosé

The different grape varieties for this Demeter organic wine are each harvested by hand at a perfect degree of ripeness and then cooled to 10 ° C for 24 hours in a cold chamber and then selected again. The grapes are pressed lightly and slowly; during a short maceration at 10 ° C, the must clears itself and forms enzymes that ensure clear fruity notes in the wine and reduce the need for sulphurisation. Then the must is separated from the solid components of the grapes and fermented at 18 to 20 ° C in stainless steel tanks. The lactic acid fermentation that usually follows is suppressed by means of cold. The wine is then matured for five months on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks with repeated stirring. Then this wine is only lightly filtered (without proteins of animal origin) and bottled.
