RosaRot – Organic Rosé 2025 from Karl May Winery
The Karl May RosaRot Rosé 2025 is an organic estate wine from the Karl May winery in Osthofen. It is a wonderfully light rosé wine, a cuvée of the Frühburgunder, Spätburgunder, Portugieser and Dornfelder grape varieties. The nose offers scents of red berries, strawberries, raspberries and red currants, while the palate is juicy, quaffable, with a medium body, good acidity balance and moderate alcohol content.
The Karl May RosaRot is the perfect patio wine or an ideal accompaniment to light dishes such as fish, salads and white meat, a wonderfully lively and fresh rosé. Lush aroma, fruity taste with impressions of strawberry and red forest berries. The RosaRot Rosé pairs perfectly with a wide variety of dishes and is simply enjoyable. Its lightness makes it perfect for summer salads or grilled meat or fish, such as salmon or tuna. We recommend enjoying it at 8 – 10°C from a good white wine glass.
Winemaking – Karl May
The vines for this rosé estate wine from the Karl May winery grow in organically farmed vineyards in various locations with sandy loess-loam soils. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, Fritz and Peter May begin as early as January with gentle pruning and early defoliation of the grape zone for optimal sun exposure, as well as yield reduction through green harvesting.
The early, selective manual harvest of the grapes takes place in several picking rounds. The journey to the new winery is short, where the grapes are gently processed. After a short maceration period, the mash is gently pressed and the must is spontaneously fermented, remains on the lees for a long time and is aged in stainless steel tanks.
