The vines grow on partly steep slopes with loess, sand and weathered rock. These soils store warmth, impart minerality and ensure a very fine, clear fruit. The comparatively cool climate in the Elbe Valley preserves the freshness and aromatics of the grapes. As a varietal cuvée, the wine combines several red varieties that are very well suited to fruity rosés. Juicy red grapes contribute strawberry and raspberry tones, while other components provide freshness, acidity and structure. The cellar master selects the individual lots so that, in the end, a harmonious whole with a silky-sparkling texture is created. The harvest is carried out with a focus on aromatic depth and freshness. The grapes are brought quickly to the press to avoid oxidation. A short maceration time releases the delicate salmon-pink color and the fine berry notes from the skins. This is followed by gentle pressing to obtain only the clear, pure must. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Cool temperatures preserve the delicate fruit aromas and prevent heavy notes. The result is a very clear, fresh profile with pronounced red berry fruit. Maturation i...
