Handwerk Rosé 2023

Wine Description for Handwerk Rosé 2023 by Bertram-Baltes

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, crystalline pink grapefruit – fresh and inviting in the glass, with the transparency and lightness one expects from a great rosé.

Nose

Animated and multi-layered: pomegranate and raspberry lead the way, accompanied by playful red fruit drops. Beneath lie delicate garden herbs, a subtle pepper spice and a tender whisper of roses and violets. Elegant, without ever becoming intrusive.

Palate

Light-footed yet with genuine bite – this rosé surprises with a cool finesse and a mineral character that recalls the slate-marked Ahr. The fruit is precise, the structure taut and invigorating. A rosé that truly offers something to sink your teeth into.

Finish

Long and refreshing, with beautiful notes of rosehip and a splash of citrus, leaving the palate lively and eager for more.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the organically farmed vineyards of Bertram-Baltes estate along the Ahr – one of Germany’s northernmost red wine regions, renowned for its steep slate sites and cool, continental climate that gives wines like this their characteristic tension.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), gently processed and unfiltered – a commitment to transparency and craftsmanship. At just 9.5% vol., the wine remains light and approachable without sacrificing character.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideal with burrata with wild strawberries, balsamic and ciabatta crunch, a fresh mixed leaf salad with roasted ham and pomegranate or – for the more ambitious evening – quail with rosehip sauce and spiced poppy seed gnocchi.

Special Features

A rosé that truly deserves the word „Handwerk“ in its name: honest, precise and without frills. Anyone who thinks German rosés are harmless summer companions will be pleasantly corrected here.
