Villa Wolf Winery was founded in 1756 in the Palatinate and was a successful and respected winery for over two centuries. With the construction of the Italianate manor house and villa in 1843, it entered a particularly glamorous era. After a declining period, Ernie Loosen took over. The vineyards were detached in 1996, causing a dramatic change in the winery's quality and reputation. Villa Wolf's goal is to produce wines that express the pure, authentic terroir of the Palatinate. The Rieslings are drier and full-bodied in the classic Palatinate style. Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, or Pinot Noir are also available. To maintain the naturally high quality of the vineyards, they rely on sustainable viticultural practices and attach great importance to the careful handling of the fruit through traditional, minimalist winemaking.
The grapes come from the Palatinate, a very warm and sunny region in Germany. This region is also known as the Tuscany of Germany. The grapes thrive here, including the Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir grape forms the basis for this beautiful rosé. The grapes are kept in stainless steel tanks for a day to extract color from the skins, creating a beautiful salmon pink color. The grapes are then gently pressed, and the juice is returned to the tank. Cool fermentation then takes place here to preserve as much fruity aromas and flavors as possible. This fermentation takes place at around 16 degrees Celsius, which preserves all the freshness. After about six months, the wine is bottled.
