Berg&Lust Roséwein feinherb - Weingut Hoflößnitz

Fine salmon pink in the glass, lively, glossy and clear – this is how Berg&Lust semi-dry rosé wine – Weingut Hoflößnitz greets the eye. At the very first swirl, a seductive fragrance rises. The nose encounters fresh strawberry, fragrant raspberry and juicy redcurrant. In addition, there are delicate nuances of red cherries, some rosehip and a hint of rose petal.

A fine veil of herbs recalls lemon balm and delicate mint. In the background, a cool, stony note appears, reminiscent of wet sandstone and subtle minerality. This rosé comes across as clear, playful yet structured, typical of the climate of the Saxon vineyards around Radebeul.

On the palate, a fruit-driven yet elegant style unfolds. The semi-dry profile creates an appealing interplay of delicate sweetness and fresh acidity. Juicy strawberries and ripe raspberries come to the fore first. They are followed by redcurrants, a hint of pomegranate and some blood orange. The texture, described as silky, carries these aromas smoothly across the tongue.

The cuvée of Dornfelder and Pinot Noir gives the wine depth and character. Dornfelder contributes intense red fruit and gentle juiciness, while Pinot Noir provides finesse, structure and spice. Together they create a rosé with medium body, very pure fruit and an invigorating pull. The acidity is lively but never sharp. The semi-dry residual sugar balances it stylishly and leads into a harmonious finish.

In the finale, the wine once again reveals its origin. The sandstone of the Radebeul slopes provides fine, salty accents. A hint of pink pepper, fresh grapefruit peel and delicate herbal spice lingers far into the aftertaste. The style always remains straightforward, clear, and focused on freshness and drinkability.

Production of Berg&Lust semi-dry rosé wine from Weingut Hoflößnitz

The grapes for this rosé come from selected vineyards around Radebeul in Saxony. The vines grow on typically Saxon sandstone, which ensures good drainage and warm soils. The roots penetrate deep into the rock layers and yield concentrated, aromatic grapes with clear fruit.

Dornfelder contributes rich color and juicy aromas of red berries. Pinot Noir complements with elegance, fine acidity and spicy notes. Together, they create a well-balanced blend that unites freshness and structure. Harvesting is carried out carefully at the point when fruit, acidity and sugar content are ideally in balance.

The grapes are quickly brought to the winery in order to preserve freshness and aroma. There they undergo gentle pressing, with only the clear must used for further vinification. A short period of skin contact brings the delicate salmon pink color and additional aromas of berries and blossoms.

Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. In this way, the focus remains entirely on fruit and finesse. Cool fermentation temperatures preserve the red-berry aromatics as well as the delicate floral nuances. After fermentation, the young rosé rests on the fine lees. This maturation imparts its silky-smooth texture and subtle creaminess.

Ageing in stainless steel ensures clarity and precision. No oak aromas distract from the pure fruit. As a result, the wine displays a very pure, straightforward style. The Q.b.A. quality level underlines Weingut Hoflößnitz’s commitment to authenticity of origin and craftsmanship. Every step is aimed at producing a rosé with freshness, elegance and enticing fruit.

Before bottling, a gentle filtration takes place. The screw cap preserves the aromas and protects against oxidation. In this way, a lively, clear and multi-layered rosé finds its way into the bottle, expressing the special character of the Saxon wine landscape.
