Rosado
This crisp and refreshing wine is made from Viura grapes grown on vines that are over 30 years old.
Tasting Notes
The nose offers intense aromas of fresh strawberries and cherries with a touch of rose petal and fresh licorice. The mouthfeel is fresh, with balanced acidity. The nose follows through to the palate, which makes this an easy-drinking wine with a long and persistently fruity finish.
Vineyards
The grapes come from selected vines from three subzones in Rioja (Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Alta and Rioja Baja). The grapes were harvested between the end of September and the beginning of October. The soils are very organically poor, with a chalky clay-limestone texture, at a median age of 25 years. Most of the vines are grown using the traditional goblet system.
Winemaking
The grapes undergo eight hours of skin contact before the juice is removed from the solids via “saignee” (bleeding). Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place over 12 days at 60.8° F (16° C) in order to preserve all the aromas and flavors. Then, the wine is racked to remove its lees, cold- stabilized, and kept 3 months in the bottle.
