Characteristics of the vineyard
Vineyards between 8 and 15 years old, goblet and trellis trained in Rioja Alavesa, mainly in Elciego and Laguardia, with fresh, clayey soils, located in different orientations. Grape varieties used are Viura, Garnacha and Tempranillo.
The grapes are harvested at the ideal moment of ripening, the objective being to obtain a wine with a moderate alcohol content, good fruit expression and balanced acidity.
Winemaking characteristics
Once the Grenache, Tempranillo and Viura varieties enter the stainless steel tank and after a few hours of maceration, we carry out a gravity bleeding. We obtain a must that ferments slowly for 20-25 days at a controlled temperature of around 16ºC in order to maintain the primary aromas of each variety.
Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine is clarified, filtered and can be bottled.
Harvest data
The year 2023 has been complicated from the climatic point of view. After a very dry end to the spring, rainfall in June relieved the water stress on the vines. The summer passed with temperatures in line with the season until August 20, with an intense and prolonged heat wave that destabilized and paralyzed the development of the vines, the vegetation and the ripening of the grapes.
Subsequently, the vineyards recovered little by little.
what was the harvest strategy?
We carried out a very selective harvest, picking the grapes in some plots, waiting in other cases and thanks to the work done by the entire team during the harvests we found the point of ripeness in the vineyard, where we looked for fruit, good acidity and balance for the production of the rosé.
Tasting notes
Delicate pale pink color.
Elegant floral aromas and red fruit, soft notes of sour strawberry candy and apple fair.
The palate has a smooth entry and passage marked by roundness and balance, ending in a long fresh and fruity aftertaste.
A perfect wine to drink with or without accompaniment.
If we want to pair it with all kinds of salads, pastas and vegetables.
