The Transformation of Gewürztraminer and Natural Winemaking
Gewürztraminer is globally renowned for its highly aromatic characteristics, full of lychee and floral notes. By fermenting with grape skins, much like a red wine, it sheds its simple sweetness and transforms into an astonishingly complex and structured orange wine, brimming with genuine gastronomic potential.

Crafted with deep respect for the grapes. After careful hand-harvesting, natural fermentation with wild yeasts takes place. Extended skin contact extracts a deep amber color and delicate tannins. It is aged with minimal intervention and bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its natural essence and raw energy. Instead of chasing commercial trends, Rossidi is recognized for its honest, small-batch winemaking that purely expresses its unique Eastern European terroir and vintage.

With its firm tannins and highly aromatic nature, this orange wine offers surprising versatility when paired with robust, spicy, and complex dishes.

• ■ Spicy Thai or Indian curries: The rich spice notes of Gewürztraminer complement the exotic herbs and heat of curries without being overshadowed.
• ■ Roasted pork with apricot glaze: The wine's refreshing acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, while the fruit glaze beautifully echoes the dried apricot notes from the glass.
• ■ Aged washed-rind cheeses: The umami and salinity derived from skin contact beautifully harmonize with the intense and distinctive flavors of fermented cheeses.
