Weingut Hexamer
Weissherbst Spätburgunder Rose
Nahe, Germany
Nose has under-ripe strawberry, cotton candy, orange zest and cold stone slab.
Palate has sweet/ripe nectarine, ripe strawberry, warm clementine slice, frizzante-like texture to the finish, but no bubbles! Long finish, what an interesting wine!
Blind...no way I ever guess this as Spätburgunder!
Not sure exactly how this is classed as rosé in the Vinous world, if this wine saw any skin contact aside from the initial press operation, call me surprised.

Dubbed the “perfect summer wine” by my wife, “not too dry, not sweet, not too alcoholly.” Yes that’s right “alcoholly.” Really good. The color is deceptive, you may not think this is a Rose, but a white wine (Blanc du blanc), beautiful color. The wine store manager said this is “delicious af.” We agree with her. Hexamer hit it out of the vineyard.
