I’m told the French word “Carambolage” means “collision” in English; Google translate confirms this to be the case. This is Dostert’s calling card wine and for him one of the most important wines he makes. For this NV blend we have a blend from vintages 2021 – 2024. Wines that needed their time and helped compensate for the losses of the 2024 vintage. The light rosé colour is given by skin contact with Pinot Gris. The main part is direct pressed Chardonnay and Elbling aged in small oak barrels with minimal sulfur addition.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The Karambolage, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, with L-Nr. 1-26 was made with an equal blend from 40-year-old vines of Elbling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris (macerated for 10 days) made from several vintages (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) and was fermented and aged in 228-liter used oak barrels along natural lines, i.e. without any intervention and was bottled unfiltered and with little SO2 added (30 mg/l). Light red-rosé in color, it shows an attractive and aromatic nose of smoke, rose petal, raspberry, spices, fresh cherry, licorice, toast, and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is light and fresh, with notes of grenadine and lively freshness lending it a straightforward and uncomplicated character. The finish is pleasantly long and rounder in style. This Rosé nicely combines aromatic complexity with freshness and is a delightful wine to enjoy. | No. 81 July 2026 |
