Producer Profile

This wine is the collaboration between Weingut Roterfaden and the local Rosswag Co-Op. Rosswag is a tiny village about 30 minutes north of Stuttgart. Rosswag and its neighboring village Mülhausen are viticulture treasures. Both are surrounded by an ancient amphitheater of staggering, towering, steep terraced vineyards. The terraces are well over 1,000 years. Built by hand, they include 23.61 miles of stone walls. The vineyards are also an official nature preserve. As beautiful as the vineyards look, they are profoundly expensive to farm. The majority of work must be done by hand. In the last few decades there have been enormous changes to the way wine is made and sold; financial pressures have seen many younger people heading to the big cities. The local Rosswag cooperative, which farms 99% of the vineyards, has handled the challenges of the new wine market better than most.- Cream Wines.
