Recommended by Vintage Assessments! A Best Buy |
The Tempranillo and Garnacha used to craft this rosé were hand-picked from terraced vineyard sites situated at the foot of the Toloño Mountains in an area known as the Sonsierra. The region is marked by hills and valleys that offer pockets of unique aspect and exposure allowing the winemakers a range of nuanced expressions to work with in their final blends. Expect a bright and fruity wine with floral, citrus and herb tones. A tremendous value and a fine barbecue wine, it will pair well with everything from grilled sausages to salads. |
