Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, off-dry
A Rotling is a traditional Franconian style made by co-fermenting red and white grapes together — here Blauer Portugieser adds a soft blush colour and gentle red-fruit character, while Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner contribute floral lift and refreshing acidity. The result is a delicate, strawberry and peach-toned rosé with a subtly off-dry finish and a light, easy-drinking profile. Hofkeller, as the historic estate winery of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, brings reliable Franconian craft to this approachable, food-friendly style.

Where it comes from
Franken, Germany
Franken — a region in northern Bavaria, in southern Germany, set along the Main river around Würzburg, with a strong identity of its own.
Müller-Thurgau
Müller-Thurgau is a white grape created in 1882 by Hermann Müller, a viticulturist from the Swiss canton of Thurgau, who crossed Riesling with Madeleine Royale — the vine carries both his name and that of his home…
Silvaner
Silvaner is a white grape that arose as a natural crossing with roots in Austria, though it became most closely associated with German winemaking, where it is valued for its gentle, food-friendly character.
Blauer Portugieser
Blauer Portugieser is a red grape long grown across Austria and Central Europe, prized for high yields and easy, unfussy drinking despite a name that has little real connection to Portugal.
