- A crisp and refreshing pale salmon-pink rosé with fragrant aromas of juicy apple, pear, wild strawberry, and a touch of floral blossom. Balanced with a rounded texture and a delicate natural sparkle.
Produced using the ‘Metodo Ancestral’, the grapes were gently pressed in a reductive environment; the absence of oxygen reduced the risk of oxidation of aromas. Fermentation took place spontaneously with natural yeasts at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of fruit. Before fermentation was complete, the wine was bottled and the natural sugars continued to ferment, producing naturally occurring carbon dioxide and thus, a delicate sparkle. This is known as 'pét nat' or 'pétillant naturel', which translates as 'naturally sparkling'. The wine was matured on its lees for three months in the bottle.

Winery | The grapes come from the single vineyard of Paraje de Aventines in Badaran, in Rioja. The cool-climate allows for a long, slow ripening period, with warm days and cool nights, preserving aromatic richness in the fruit. The soil is made up of a mixture of calcareous clay which imparts minerality, and a proportion of ferrous clay which contributes volume on the palate. The soils are generally deep and the sandy and clay components bring agility, fluidity and fruitiness to the wine. The vineyards are farmed using sustainable methods; chemical sprays are not used, instead organic products are employed in order to protect the environment and biodiversity of the vineyard. This sustainable approach encourages the best expression of the terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal phenolic maturity. |
