CRAFTING AND AGING
A unique rosé that brings together two of Rioja’s iconic red and white grape varieties: 75% Tempranillo and 25% Tempranillo blanco. They macerate separately at a low temperature to enhance the delicate primary aromas tht give this rosé wine a fine and elegant nose. The bled-off musts are blended together to ferment at 16ºC, making this a particularly well-integrated rosé. A wine of great aromatic expressivity, overwhelming personality and a silky palate.
Tasting note
LOOK: Luminous and expressive pale pink, with light lilac-coloured highlights.
AROMA & PALATE: An elegant nose, with notes of red fruits, white owers and stone fruits aromas. So and pleasant on the palate. Delightful fruity and full of freshness, its elegant acidity and unctuousness intertwine, resulting a really pleasant wine.
Food pairing
Delicious with pasta dishes and summer salads. It is the perfect pairing for oven-baked sh and a variety of barbecued meats, where its freshness and fruit character enhances the flavour of lightly spiced meat. Cheeses and Mediterranean style appetizers. Serving temperature: 9-10ºC.
