Decanter 95pt

A fantastic example of aged rosado with just enough barrel influence, a touch of grainy freshness and some attractive orange and spicy notes. It is fleshy enough but framed perfectly by the wood, and is surely very versatile with any food match. Despite the age, it still offers bright red berry fruit and a juicy, sappy finish.

A unique style, embroidered with aromas of ripe strawberries, red florals and wood spice that thread perfectly through the rich texture and glorious saline finish. <br> Gold Medal 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards

Vinification

Harvest on October 17. Maceration of between 24 and 48 hours at Iow temperatures, around IOQC. Subsequently, the tank is tapped, naturally extracting a bright pink must, which ferments at 16QC for about 20 days in steel tanks.

Ageing

Four years in Bordeaux barreis and subsequent aging in the bottle. Toe oaks of the Quercus petraea species are sourced from a specific selection of forests in France and Eastern Europe; the majority of the oak is first-use, with sorne second-use barreis included.

Background

A very complex vintage due to atypical weather conditions. Toe winter was wet, and so was the spring, which, in addition to being rainy, was very cold, extending almost until mid-June with a significant frost on May 25. Flowering was delayed, and ripening was uneven, with many humidity issues that intensified the green pruning work. Summer was mild, though it took its time to arrive. Toe weather in September and October allowed the vines to complete their cycle successfully, particularly for the old vineyards. However, the harvest required a lot of patience, being carried out in a very selective and staggered manner to achieve optimal ripeness.

Tasting notes

Fullness on attack, with very good balance as it passes through the mouth, where delicate sensations are the common theme. Of great length, it is a wine that exudes subtlety and elegance. It has certain final saline touches that increase its complexity. In the final sensations stone fruits appear, leaving behind highly pleasing sensorial recollections.
