Württemberg

Württemberg is Germany's fourth largest wine region, situated in southwestern Germany along the Neckar River valley. The region is notable for producing primarily red wines (about 70% of production), which is unusual among German wine regions, with Trollinger being the signature grape variety, along with Lemberger (Blaufränkisch), Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier), and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). The local climate is relatively warm and dry with mineral-rich soils, contributing to wines that are typically lighter in body with moderate acidity and often consumed young, particularly the popular Trollinger which is considered the everyday wine of the region.

Red

Roterfaden & Rosswag Terraces Red comes from the steep limestone terraces of Württemberg – a German wine region that deserves way more attention than it gets. This blend brings together the local hero Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch) with Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a wine that's distinctly German yet accessible to international palates. The 'Terraces' in the name refers to the dramatically steep vineyard sites where these grapes are grown – vineyards so precipitous that most work must be done by hand, making mechanization impossible. This labor of love results in a wine with remarkable freshness and mineral definition that speaks clearly of its unique origin. It's the perfect bottle for those looking to explore beyond the Riesling stereotype of German wines and discover the country's excellent reds. Think of it as your vinous tour guide to a side of Germany that most wine drinkers never get to experience.
