Wine Review: This refreshing Rose from Germany is a pretty light salmon color. In the glass it has a very light bouquet of strawberry, red raspberry yogurt, chalk dust and a touch of red apple peel. It is fresh, elegant, and delicate, with good balance and medium-plus acidity. I detected flavors of lime, green apple and chalky minerality. The finish is dry, bright, and moderate in length. Serve lightly chilled with grilled shrimp topped by tropical fruit salsa. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: A perfectly balanced, food-friendly Rosé that displays the fruity delicacy of Pinot Noir on a fine mineral frame. The Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rosé is made with fruit from vineyards that are farmed expressly for the purpose of producing a true rosé (no saignée or coloring with red wine). Only perfectly ripe, healthy grapes are selected. Upon harvest the fruit is given a brief maceration (four to six hours) to extract a lovely pink color from the Pinot Noir grapes. The wine is delicate and refreshing, with deliciously bright fruit flavors and a clean, zippy finish.
