Wine Description

Appearance:

Medium intense pink tone with light violet reflexes.

Aromas:

Red grenade, strawberries, redcurrant, quince, notes of thymo, green pepper and almonds.

Palate:

Lyvely and voluminous entry, it opens on a simple and round mid palate, with a good relief at the end of the mouth, supported by the acidity and a bitter touch. This rosé is a vibrant young wine with intense pink hues. It has concentrated aromas of strawberries, red currant, quince and almonds. Exeptionally well balanced and bright, the palate is lively yet well rounded with ripe wild starwberry flavours.

Serving suggestions:

It is highly recomended to pair cold summer meals and as cold as a with wine, around 10ºC (50ºF), to enhance its full freshness
