What Pauline and Carl say: 

The second vintage of Rot and it is even more juicy and joyful than the first one. This cuvée is made of Regent, a fungal-resistant variety and Dornfelder, a regional classic. Both can make a dark red, but we decided to go for a bright version: 6 days of cold maceration lead to a light colour and mood. This is a cheerful red. “Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing!” is playing while describing this wine and well, it’s just that: A wine that brings ease. Low alcohol, high fruit. The grapes were harvested just about ripe, destemmed and the juice macerated with the skins for six days at 8°C. At this temperature, there is no fermentation happening, so not a high extraction of tannins, but mostly of the aromatic fruit flavours. People who take themselves very seriously don’t like this wine description, but we do: This wine is lecker (German for delicious), not too serious and we like it.
