That’s great. Let’s just give this category of wine its due. It is a meaningful addition to the world of wine.

AVAILABLE NOW!
2022 Joiseph “Piroska” ~ $27
“Piroska” is the Hungarian word often associated with Little Red Riding Hood; from Joiseph it is the wine often associated with this mysterious genre of wine that is neither truly red wine, nor truly rosé. It is just a beautiful light red wine. Harvested normally a bit early, this joyous, delicate red flaunts a finely wound structure, herbal with a bright strawberry treble and deep cassis bass note, all supported by a rocky minerality. It’s a blend: normally Zweigelt and Pinot Noir with the remainder being just a “gemistcher satz” that is mostly Blaufränkisch.

AVAILABLE NOW!
2022 Enderle & Moll Spätburgunder Rosé ~ $33
A sub-genre of rosé we really enjoy: bottles released a year post-vintage. With time in bottle the fruit deepens and grows more complex – this is almost a Clos Cibonne style – very herbal and dark fruited, tons of soil tones. Honestly drinks more like a red than a rosé. Bonkers good and culty – this just arrived last Friday. Yes, sorry we are using the 2019 label photo.

ARRIVES MID-MARCH!
2023 Müller-Ruprecht Blanc de Noir Rosé ~ $23
This is an estate Keller introduced us to in 2020 and we took a small flyer on the rosé based solely on the extreme cut of the basic Riesling and, well, we were blown away. This is from the limestone Pfalz, where Pinot Noir does quite well. We’ve secured a bit more of this for 2023 because it’s just a stupid deal and there’s a funky new label so wunderbar.

ARRIVES APRIL!
2023 Beurer Rosé ~$24
2023 Beurer Rosé MAGZ ~ $55 
Jochen Beurer makes a rosé that drinks like biodynamic Gatorade – this wine zings: it is pure energy. It is fresh like a spring garden around 6am just as the overeager sun pokes its gonzo eye above the horizon, pushing away the wet dew. This rosé is a saignée of Trollinger, Portugieser, Spätburgunder and more, all farmed biodynamically and fermented with native yeast. Yes, those are my damn tulips in the background. 🙂

ARRIVES MAY!
2023 Seehof Pinot Noir Rosé ~ $21
This is one of the most popular rosés we offer BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME. In this region, limestone reigns supreme, not slate. Verily, Pinot Noir is very much at home and Florian’s rosé highlights the transparent, crystal-clear freshness of great Pinot rosé, at an absurdly low price because it’s, well, German, and NOT from Provence.

ARRIVES MAY!
2023 Stein Rosé ~ $26
2023 Stein Rosecco (sparkling rosé) ~ $27
Our favorite rebel/activist in the Mosel, Ulli Stein is one of the world’s most soulful growers. This is one of the few rosés from the Mosel and has become a cult favorite. Shimmering, dry with rigorous acidity. This year we have ok quantities of both the still and the bubbly Rosecco. No magnums sorry.

ARRIVES MAY!
2023 Migot Rosé “Vin Gris” ~ $24
The Mosel River begins in Alsace but spends most of its time running north through the Lorraine, the ignored neighbor of Alsace. This is the homeland of rosé, here called “Vin Gris.” For those looking for wines of finesse and delicacy, this is a thrilling region and there is no one better than the young Camille Migot: all hand-harvested, certified organic, all wild-yeast fermentations, NO chaptalization. SERIOUS. The Vin Gris is the calling card of the region, layered rosé that carries the nervous energy of the north.

ARRIVES JUNE!
2023 Shelter Pinot Noir Rosé ~ $26
Shelter makes extraordinarily delicate, fragrant Pinot Noir in Baden, a region mostly known for wines that tend to be big bruisers with a lot of lumber. This rosé is ultra bright and tart, with the whispering intensity and lacy minerality that characterizes every wine from this humble husband-and-wife team. SILLY LIMITED!

ARRIVES JUNE!
2023 Hild “Rosémarie Rosé ~ $23
In the cold Obermosel, Pinot Noir is still not the easiest grape to ripen and this is only the fourth rosé the Hilds have been able to make in years. This is salty and brisk and fresh. And the label; when I saw the photograph of proprietor Matz’s older sister Rosemarie as a 5-year-old on the label it just broke my heart. In a world of painfully hip wine labels, I am so down for a return to some basic human sentimentality.

ARRIVES JUNE!
2023 Roterfaden Rosé ~ $32
THE FIRST EVER vintage to come to the U.S. – which is exciting… at least to us. Württemberg represent – Beurer can’t have all the fun. From ancient terraces, the husband-and-wife team at Roterfaden makes a crisp, Swabian delight – 100% Lemberger, baby.
