comments:

A blend of 80% tempranillo, 20% garnacha selected from the highest slopes in the Rioja Alta. The grapes are macerated for several hours, after which they are separated from the skins to begin the slow process of alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures, in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then stabilized by refrigeration treatment. This type of wine is not aged in oak. A dry mouth-watering rosé with lovely notes of strawberries. Closed with a screwcap. Food matches: fish, pork, chicken, Mediterranean cusine: vegetables sauteed in olive oil, paella, pasta and lightly spiced dishes.
