TASTING NOTES

Light raspberry pink colour. Clean and bright.
Aromatic, floral and fruity: roses combined with red currants and a bitter citrus touch of orange peel and bergamot. Clove, pink pepper and mint in the background, combined with country herbs.
The palate is expressive, complex and long. More structured than other rosés in its category since it is 100% Tempranillo fermented in barrel and aged on lees. Good balance between alcohol, acidity and tannin, resulting in an easy to drink wine with a powerful lengthy palate and a dense, balsamic and refreshing finish.
