The Art of German Rosé
Inspiration Pinot Noir Rosé is an example of why the Pfalz, Germany region is on the radar of the world's best sommeliers. In the south of this region, protected by the Haardt mountains, Pinot Noir (or Spätburgunder) finds the perfect balance. This rosé does not seek power, but precision: electric acidity, red fruit that tastes freshly picked, and that technical cleanliness that only great German whites and rosés possess.
