Description

Weingut Schmitt Rose Frei Korper Kulture 2021

Thanks to the teachings of Patrick Meyer, a legendary Alsatian vigneron, theirs is a totally biodynamic approach that allows them to create natural wines without any additions.

Grape Varietals & Region: Blend of Portugieser & Dornfelder from Rheinhessen, Germany. The vineyards are distributed in various plots at Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Monsheim and Kriegsheim.

Taste Profile: Rose and violet, berries, undergrowth and mineral notes. Light-bodied, medium-bodied taste with good tannin and persistence

Winemaking process: Portugieser and Dornfelder are pressed following a few hours maceration and left to rest in fiberglass tanks on the gross lees. Unfiltered with a total of 15 mg/L sulfur added at bottling.

Fruity Rose

Candied summer fruit in a bottle, these fruit driven wines are typically from warmer climate regions, such as Spain & Australia. Expect notes of ripe berries, vanilla, cherry, bonbons, spice

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
