Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Fermentation for 19 days in a mash tank, followed by 18 months of maturation in new French oak barrels. No filtering.

Medium ruby. Fruity nose of cherry and strawberry. Aromatic, precise, powerful and juicy on the palate, with a delicate minerality and a well-balanced and elegant finish

Rising directly up from the old town in Ahrweiler, Rosenthal is a south-facing vineyard with varied soils – ranging from greywacke on its eastern flank and cliff loam on its upper slopes, to loam along with loess loam and slate on its western flank.
