Rosswag

Rosswag is a small but renowned wine-producing subregion in Württemberg, located along the Enz River valley in southwestern Germany where steep terraced vineyards dominate the landscape. The area features mineral-rich shell limestone soils and a mild climate perfect for cultivating Trollinger (the signature red grape of Württemberg), Lemberger, Riesling, and Pinot varieties. Rosswag is particularly known for its terraced vineyard 'Rosswager Halde,' which produces characterful red wines with excellent structure and elegance.

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.
