2022 Vineyard Project 002, Roterfaden + Rosswag Terraces

Weingut Roterfaden produces this wine in the village of Rosswag, where the estate founders, Olympia Samara and Johannes Hoffmann, maintain a long-term commitment to biodynamic farming. It is made from a blend of Lemberger, Trollinger, Regent, and Schwarzriesling, all grown on steep, hand-built terraced slopes composed of blue shell limestone. In the glass, you will find notes of bright red fruit, savory earth, and a touch of black pepper, framed by a light, juicy texture with restrained tannins. The 2022 vintage provided a warm, dry summer and timely autumn rains, which resulted in a balanced, expressive red with refreshing acidity. This wine is approachable and ready to enjoy tonight, offering a distinct and transparent view of this challenging, ancient viticultural landscape.
