Van Volxem VV Pinot Noir Rosé 2024 is a vibrant German rosé made from Pinot Noir, also known as Spätburgunder in Germany. The wine comes from the Mosel Valley, where steep slopes, slate soil, and cool river influence ensure freshness, red fruit, and a mineral tension. Think wild strawberry, raspberry, rosehip, and a juicy, fresh finish.
This rosé comes from the Mosel, the cool wine region characterized by steep slopes and winding river bends.
Location / Origin: The vineyards are situated on steep slopes above the river, surrounded by slate rocks and classic wine villages. That landscape is typical of the Mosel Valley.
Soil: Slate plays an important role in the style of this wine. It gives the rosé its mineral touch and emphasizes the fresh, clean side of the red fruit.
Climate & Influences: The cool location and river influence ensure slow ripening. As a result, the Pinot Noir retains its fine acidity, aromatic precision, and elegant fruit expression.
Vineyard management: At Van Volxem, harvesting is manual work. The grapes are picked by hand, in line with the estate's artisanal approach.
The vinification is focused on fruit, freshness, and a pure rosé style.
Harvest & Selection: The grapes are harvested by hand. This allows for greater control over the quality of the fruit entering the cellar.
Skin maceration: The Pinot Noir undergoes brief skin maceration. This creates the light rosé color and extracts subtle red fruit aromas from the skins.
Fermentation: Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, which keeps the wine fresh, clear, and fruit-driven.
Aging: Aging also occurs in stainless steel, ensuring that wild strawberry, raspberry, rosehip, and mineral freshness remain at the forefront.
Alcohol percentage: With 12% alcohol, this rosé remains light and elegant, with enough tension for both social occasions and the dining table.
