Vintage description

The 2023 vintage began with a cool, rainy spring, which ensured slow, even development of the vines. The summer was moderately warm with sufficient moisture, largely avoiding drought stress. A sunny, stable autumn enabled a late, selective harvest under ideal conditions. The grapes presented themselves aromatically, freshly, and perfectly balanced. 2023 is considered a classic, very harmonious vintage with clear fruit and elegant structure.

Harvest and Maturing

The base wines for the rosé are obtained partly through direct pressing (Blaufränkisch) and partly through the saignée method (Syrah). The grapes are harvested and processed separately by variety and vineyard site. The selective picking of ripe, healthy grapes is carried out exclusively by hand. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. After a few hours of skin contact, the fresh must is either pressed or drawn off from the mash. The must obtained in this way is naturally clarified by sedimentation. Fermentation takes place under controlled cooling to preserve the fruit. After fermentation, the young base wines are racked off the gross lees, blended, and allowed to rest on the fine lees for about two months. The wine is then clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
