Trossen

Rotwein 2018

According to Rudolf, this wine comes from a vineyard already cultivated by the Romans. Dornfelder, Germany's native variety, is blended with a touch of Pinot Noir and macerated for 14 days to allow a deep texture. If you are looking for a juicy companion for your day to day drinking pleasures, you will love this little charmer!
Dornfelder traditionally was used for high yield production but Rudolf likes to 'reign it in' to allow it to shine. Morello cherries blended with black currants mixed up with a mineral back bone à la Trossen.
