WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Juliusspital Rosé trocken is made using gentle grape processing to capture natural aromas, followed by a slow, cool fermentation at 16°-18° C to maintain freshness. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks to develop subtle complexity without compromising its vibrant character. Grapes are selected from the estate's vineyards across the Franken region, adhering to the VDP.GUTSWEIN standards which emphasize handcrafted quality and the winemaker's style. The overall approach prioritizes sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the cellar, aiming to express the authentic character of Franconian rosé.
