Vintage
Very hot vintage with extremely long periods of dryness, heavy rainfall after mid-August. Elements that influenced the timing of balanced ripening and colour. Harvest by hand in the last week of September, with selection of the bunches in the vineyard.
Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and the juice was collected by gravity, without pressing. The must obtained was moved and fermented in steel vats at a controlled low temperature.
Ageig
After fermentation, the wine remains on the fine lees for a time of about 50 to 60 days, then it is bottled and marketed after about two months.
Tasting notes
Intense and bright rosé colour, with ample floral aromas, hints of pomegranate, wild strawberry and aromatic herbs, with clear vinous overtones. On the palate, savouriness and freshness stand out, with notes of raspberry, tomato leaf and elegant herbaceous hints typical of the variety, together with a very slight tannic note that pleasantly accompanies the fine persistence.
