This wine is all about that vivid, slightly funk fruitset hemmed in beautifully by searing acidity. Tight, taut and down the line, this is a serious rosé, gastronomic and pure, with effortless elegance and balance from top to bottom.

Philip Lardot is a young winemaker who is beginning to make waves in Germany's natural winemaking scene. The Finnish-born winemaker grew up in Amsterdam. Lardot spent the 2015 and 2016 vintages working apprenticeships across France, before settling in Germany to pave his own way in the wine world. Philip's wines are definitely pushing the needle in this part of the world. Everything is naturally fermented and expresses its unique terroir. these are mineral wines that are consistently layered with texture and character. Their textural element is thanks in large part to the fact that Lardot does not block malolactic fermentation - a process that softens the acidity in a wine - which is at odds with many of his counterparts in the region. Back that philosophy up with extended lees (yeast) ageing on his wines, and you have yourself a portfolio of wine that is truly unique for this part of the world. Lardot's wines are a recent discovery for us here at Good Pair Days and as soon as we tasted them, we were smitten!
