rosafaden 2023

Wine description for rosafaden 2023 by Roterfaden

Colour & Appearance

Radiant as pink grapefruit, slightly hazy – an unfiltered rosé that proudly displays its authentic character.

Nose

Compact and aromatic, this Lemberger rosé presents itself with wild raspberries, wild strawberries and rosehip. Subtle notes of tea leaves and white pepper lend the bouquet a fascinating complexity. After some air contact in the decanter, the aromatics unfold even more faceted, revealing an impressive liveliness.

Palate

On the palate, rosafaden shows its best side: red berry fruit meets a stimulating, precise acidity that carries the wine without dominating. What particularly distinguishes this rosé is its saline minerality, which gives it gripping length and depth. At a featherlight 10.5% vol., it offers remarkable substance and drinkability.

Finish

Long, saline and refreshingly precise – the finish delivers on the nose’s promise and leaves a lasting impression of elegance and liveliness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Lemberger (Blaufränkisch), hand-harvested and destemmed. Olympia Samara and Hannes Hoffmann of Roterfaden work according to biodynamic principles and are Demeter-certified. The wine is bottled unfiltered – a deliberate choice for maximum authenticity and liveliness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A versatile companion to aromatic spring cuisine: perfect with grilled salmon, tuna tartare, goat’s cheese salad with strawberries or vitello tonnato. Also an exciting choice with Asian cuisine featuring sushi or Thai curries. Works equally brilliantly on its own on the terrace.

Special Features

A rosé that proves low alcohol need not mean compromises in complexity and drinking pleasure. The biodynamic approach and craftsmanship of Roterfaden create a wine with soul and character – authentic, lively and unpretentious.
