We love our bubbles at CoolVines and the Latitude 50 is a fun sparkling rose, made from 100% Pinot Noir. Light and approachable, the wine is full of vivid ripe fruit. While it's sociable and easy going there is a lot of elegance in this bottle.

The Weingut Rapp winery is a small 10 hectares estate, near the wine center of Bad Munster am Stein, in the heart of the Nahe region. Erich-Wilhelm and Ursula Rapp developed it from a former agricultural mixed holdings through acquisitions and leasing of good quality-oriented vineyard to vineyard. Today, Walter Rapp is responsible for the winery and the expansion of the wines. Ideal growing conditions, combined with steep vineyards and terrior produce world class wines, including those grown from a unique soil, porphyry. This heat-retaining, red volcanic rock soil gives the wine a unique point of view, due to the peculiarity in the stone floors of the steep hillside slopes. This particular soil type matures and develops the grapes, producing wines with terrific minerality and elegance.

The Nahe is sandwiched between the much more famed Mosel and Rhein regions of Germany's southern wine country. A tributary of the Mosel, the Nahe river benefits by having many sub-tributaries of its own, thus resulting in lots of little slopes ideal for grape growing. Also making it ideal is the mix of soil types, from the softer Mosel to the more minerally Rhein, which gives the Nahe wines an unrivaled complexity. It is for this reason that many great young winemakers are flourishing here.
