Pretty, luminous pale coral pink color. Floral bouquet of small red berry fruits and a slight touch of aniseed. Luscious flavors on tasting with refreshing acidity and balanced structure. An elegant rosé with character and good length.

Selection of parcels with Tempranillo grapes (96%), located mainly on the fresher slopes in Cenicero and in Rioja Alavesa. The Garnacha (4%) comes from high-altitude vineyards in Cenicero. Generally speaking, the vineyards are 15-20 years old with average yields of 45 HL/HA.

Tempranillo and Garnacha vinified separately. The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. Short skin-contact maceration for 8-10 hours. Gentle bleeding so that the must commences alcoholic fermentation in separate stainless steel tanks (without the skins) at low temperatures (16-18ºC). The wine is later stabilised by cold treatment to prevent malolactic fermentation. This results in greater freshness and maintains the wine’s natural acidity. Bottling takes place in December or January following the harvest.
