Description

The RIEDLIN family vineyards are located in the town of Laufen on the foothills of the Black Forest in the Markgräflerland/Baden. The vines of the RIEDLIN ROSÉ are up to 50 years old and managed according to organic farming methods certified by Demeter.

After crushing the grapes into open vats we bleed off the juice (like Saignée) just about 15 % off the RIEDLIN ROT vats. It is 100 % Spätburgunder juice and the quality level is equal to the juice for the RIEDLIN ROT.

The wine is kept on its fine lees until bottling is done in late spring of the year following harvest.

The wonderful label is from the artwork of Adolf Riedlin (1892-1969), a family member and a grand uncle from Markus. It is from a painting created in 1950. It shows a resting vintner with a bottle of wine in his hand. In the case of the RIEDLIN ROSÉ he holds a Rosé bottle and in the case of the RIEDLIN ROT a red bottle in his hand. Adolf Riedlin is regarded today as a pioneer of the „Modern Art“ in the region Baden.
