Rotling
A Rotling is a wine made of a blend is prepared from red and white grapes. These may already be mashed when blended , but must be pressed together. It is similar in color to the rosé wine made only from red grapes and is often mistakenly equated with this. Rotling is particularly common in the German wine-growing regions of Württemberg , Baden , Franconia and Saxony as well as in the rural wine- growing regions of Regensburg and Bavarian Lake Constance. The Rotling has its origin in Saxony, where it is called Schieler , a phonetic variant of Schillerwein because of its iridescent color (originally to be cross- eyed ).
Examples
- Badisch red gold : from the grape varieties Pinot Gris and Blue Pinot Noir as a quality wine or quality wine with the growing area Baden
- Schieler : the grapes used to make the wine may only be harvested in a certain growing area in Saxony and must come from a vineyard with a mixed set . The name Schieler may then be placed in front of the place name to indicate the location from which the grapes used come.
- Schillerwein : a Rotling as a quality wine or quality wine with the predicate of the specific cultivation area Württemberg (usually Riesling and Trollinger ). Historically, Schillerwein is a predecessor of Badisch Rotgold .
