ABOUT THIS WINE
The Old Skool Rosé by Weingut Andres is a testament to traditional winemaking, deliberately steering clear of modern trends towards intensely fruity rosés. Produced in the Pfalz region of Germany, specifically Deidesheim, this wine is crafted from 100% Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). The Andres brothers, who have managed the estate since 2015, adhere to a philosophy of minimal intervention, emphasizing the importance of healthy vineyards and quality soil. Their approach allows the unique terroir, influenced by soils of weathered red sandstone and loess, to express itself authentically. The 'Old Skool' name signifies a commitment to purity and tradition in winemaking, focusing on clarity and character over overt fruitiness.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Old Skool Rosé is crafted using a philosophy of minimal intervention. The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, a process that encourages the development of complex flavors. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees (Hefelager) in stainless steel tanks. This extended contact with the lees builds structure, texture, and finesse. The winery employs organic viticulture supplemented with biodynamic principles, aiming to express the purity of the grape and the distinctiveness of the Pfalz terroir.
