Wine Description

Vivid salmon-pink in colour. Delicate aroma of rhubarb, raspberries, marzipan and a bouquet of dried herbs, with a precise and cool stylistic expression. On the palate, it's clear and juicy, featuring fine spice, lively acidity, and silky-grained tannins. A structured and tension-filled rosé, clearly expressing its origin and identity.

Food Pairing

Fits as an aperitif, with spicy starters, carpaccio, tartare from fish or with vegan crunchy vegetable noodles in spicy and super easy-to-make chickpea pancakes with a fine peanut sauce and of course lots of fresh herbs.

Harvest and Maturing

Rosé from Pinot Noir

The grapes come from a single vineyard at elevations of up to 700 m above sea level. The cool altitude slows down ripening and enhances a precise aromatic expression, freshness, and a well-defined acidity. The Pinot Noir berries are only gently pressed, followed by a very careful, reductive vinification. The pale must ferments at controlled temperature in stainless steel and then matures for about 7 months in wooden casks.
