Vinification of Twentysix rosé from Bickel-Stumpf

This elegant rosé wine from Germany is a cuvée of the grape varieties Blauer Portugieser and Spätburgunder. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Franconia. Here the vines sink their roots deep into limestone soils. When perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for Twentysix rosé are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of rough and less selective mechanical harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, Twentysix rosé can continue to harmonize for a few months on the fine lees.
