Briem Rosé vom Spätburgunder 2024 – the radiant fruit of the Kaiserstuhl

The Briem Rosé vom Spätburgunder 2024 is a masterly interpretation of Baden's noblest red grape in its freshest form. While Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) on the Kaiserstuhl is often famous for its heavy, complex red wines, this wine from Weingut Briem shows the elegant, lively side of the volcanic terroir. With a precisely judged alcohol content of 12.79% vol. this rosé perfectly balances power and summery lightness. Anyone looking to buy a high-quality rosé that goes far beyond a simple thirst-quencher and impresses with structure and aromatic brilliance will find the ideal companion for discerning moments of pleasure in this 2024 vintage.

The philosophy: elegance through selection and cold maceration

Weingut Briem in Ihringen stands for wines that proudly show their origin in the glass. For the 2024 Rosé only first-class grapes were used, harvested specifically for making rosé. A short, cool period of skin contact extracted the characteristic berry fruit without releasing the heavy tannins of the Spätburgunder. In accordance with EU Regulation 2021/2117 on transparent consumer information, this wine combines environmental responsibility with oenological perfection. It is a wine that translates the power of Baden's sun into a lively, crystal-clear freshness.

Sensory analysis 

Tasting the Briem Rosé vom Spätburgunder 2024 reveals a profile that impresses with its lively fruit and fine mineral backbone.

• Colour: In the glass the wine shows a brilliant, delicate salmon pink with silvery highlights, which visually underline its freshness.

• Aromas (nose): Layers of intense primary aromas dominate the nose:

  • Fruit: A basket of red berries – fresh raspberries, wild strawberries and a nuance of juicy redcurrant.

  • Floral notes: A touch of rose petals and cherry blossom adds an elegant playfulness.

  • Spicy accents: In the background there is a subtle herbal spice and a fine, smoky component from the volcanic soil.

• Structure & tannins: On the palate the wine is substantial and harmonious. The texture is supple, almost creamy – a reflection of the Spätburgunder's noble origins.

• Acidity & balance: The acidity is lively and keeps it vibrant and easy to drink. Despite its 12.79% vol., the wine never feels heavy but impresses with its perfect balance between fruit sweetness and crisp freshness.

• Finish: The finish is long and fruit-driven and ends on a fine mineral saltiness.

Origin & terroir 

Ihringen am Kaiserstuhl is considered one of the warmest places in Germany. Here the Spätburgunder finds conditions that give it a particular aromatic intensity.

Soil structure and microclimate

The vines are rooted in weathered volcanic rock with a covering of loess. While the loess provides the lush fruit, the volcanic subsoil gives the rosé its mineral foundation. The intense sunshine on Ihringen's terraced vineyards ensures optimal ripeness of the anthocyanins (pigments), which gives the wine its brilliant colour.

Viticultural philosophy

Weingut Briem relies on close-to-nature farming and targeted canopy management. The grapes for the rosé are picked a little earlier than those for the red wine, to preserve the essential acidity and lively fruit aromas. Only healthy, hand-picked grapes guarantee the purity of the 2024 vintage.

Vinification & ageing

The 2024 Rosé is made to a protocol of maximum gentleness.

• Pressing: Gentle whole-bunch pressing or a short period of skin contact gives the delicate colour and preserves the fine fruit aromas.

• Fermentation: Alcoholic fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless-steel tanks – this cool approach (approx. 15–17 °C) is crucial for stabilising the Spätburgunder's volatile berry aromas.

• Ageing: After fermentation the wine rests on its fine lees for several months, which gives it additional complexity and stability. Oak ageing is deliberately avoided, so that nothing masks the varietal brilliance of the wine.

Food pairing & serving

The Briem Rosé vom Spätburgunder 2024 is an excellent all-rounder and a brilliant companion for sophisticated summer cooking.

• Suggested dishes: An ideal partner for grilled salmon, garlic prawns or summer salads with strawberry vinaigrette. It is also an excellent match for light poultry dishes or mildly spicy Asian cuisine.

• Vegetarian alternative: Grilled halloumi, or pasta with tomato concassée and fresh basil.

• Serving temperature: Best served at 8–10 °C.

• Glassware: We recommend a classic white-wine glass with a medium-sized opening, so that the fine berry aromas can open up fully.
