Württemberg is known for producing high-quality red wines, but this local co-op produces a stunning summer white. A blend of 40% Riesling, 20% Kerner and 40% Weissburgunder (also known as Pinot Blanc), this wine is driven by acidity while still maintaining a solid fruit foundation. Minerality provides complexity and supports both the acidity and fresh fruit. The village of Rosswag is located in an ancient amphitheater with centuries-old stone terraces for which the wine is named after. All vineyards are hand-harvested and hand-maintained by necessity and the attention given to them comes through in the wine quality. This wine is an outstanding summer choice to put some variety in the rotation. The acidity helps this wine pair with most cheeses and the 12.5% abv is perfect for warmer days.
