Portugieser, Riesling
Pfalz, Germany
Light bodied
Vibrant, dynamic Portugieser lifted with a twist of Riesling. Lower alcohol and with a delicate spritz, this is a glugger! Tart cranberry notes, with wild strawberries, earthiness and some funk thrown in to measure.
Sulphur: None added
Picked early for acidity, the heat of 2022 freshened with good rains in August has led to a properly juicy rosé with a livewire acidity. Fermented and aged in barrels for 9 months, has great complexity for a rosé without losing its drinkability.
