Vinification of Rot alkoholfrei from Rotkäppchen

For Rot alkoholfrei – Rotkäppchen, the Rotkäppchen estate uses grapes from carefully selected German vineyards with a moderate climate. Warm days and cooler nights allow the berries to ripen slowly and evenly. The vines are rooted in soils of loess, limestone and sandy deposits. This mixture lends the cuvée clear fruit, fine spice and a lively freshness.

Precise work is already the focus in the vineyard. The winegrowers pay attention to ripe, aromatic grapes in clean condition. Harvesting is done gently, usually in several passes. This way, only ripe grapes make their way into small containers that ensure rapid, undamaged transport to the winery. There, the berries are sorted again so that only the best grape material goes into the must.

The gentle processing of the must serves to obtain the ruby-red color and the varietal-typical fruit aromas. Gentle crushing and controlled maceration times ensure that color and aroma substances are extracted gently. The cellar team takes care not to extract harsh tannins. This creates the soft, silky tannin structure that characterizes Rot alkoholfrei – Rotkäppchen.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This neutral environment protects the primary fruit and preserves the clear cherry and berry aromas. Controlled temperatures ensure a slow, clean fermentation and a fine, precise aroma profile. After fermentation, the wine rests on the fine lees for a while. This contact promotes a smooth texture and integrates the acidity into a harmonious overall picture.

The wine is then gently dealcoholized. Modern, aroma-preserving methods remove the alcohol without overpowering the fruit. The aim is to retain the typical profile of the varietal cuvée: red fruit, gentle spice, clear structure. Rotkäppchen’s cellar masters place particular value on freshness, fine fruit sweetness and an elegant flow on the palate. This preserves the character of a modern, fruit-driven red wine, just without alcohol.

After dealcoholization, careful stabilization and filtration take place. Rot alkoholfrei – Rotkäppchen is then bottled in the typical Bordeaux bottle with screw cap. This closure preserves the freshness and makes the wine practical for everyday life and picnics. From vineyard to bottle, the goal for this cuvée is to unite a clear, fruity profile with fine structure and pleasant lightness.
