Handwerk Rosé 2023

Wine Description for Handwerk Rosé 2023 by Bertram-Baltes

Colour & Appearance

Luminous pink grapefruit in the glass – a brilliant, clear robe that already promises freshness and vibrancy on the eye.

Nose

Extraordinarily invigorating: pomegranate and raspberry meet red fruit drops, underpinned by garden herbs and a fine peppery spice. Delicate floral notes of roses and violets round out the aromatic spectrum with elegance.

Palate

Here the true class of this rosé reveals itself: fruit-driven, yet with cool finesse and pronounced mineral structure. The texture is remarkably grippy – you can practically bite into this wine. Rosehip and citrus notes provide tension and freshness.

Finish

Long and precise with lingering citrus and rosehip tones that underscore the mineral backbone.

Terroir & Origin

The Spätburgunder grapes come from the estate’s own, organically farmed vineyards on the Ahr – a region renowned for its Pinot Noir expertise, whose slate soils impart the wine’s characteristic minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), gently processed and unfiltered. With just 9.5% alcohol, a textbook example of modern, light-footed rosé style that prioritises elegance over power.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with burrata with wild strawberries, balsamic and ciabatta, mixed leaf salad with roasted ham and pomegranate or quail with rosehip sauce and poppy seed gnocchi. The mineral structure makes it an ideal companion for light summer cuisine.

Special Features

A rosé with substance and character – not a forgettable terrace wine, but a serious food companion with impressive texture. The low alcohol level makes it the perfect choice for extended wine evenings without sacrificing complexity.
