Rioja Rosado
A clean and well-balanced rosé that expresses subtle red fruit flavours with a fresh and lively character. It is both approachable and well-defined — very characteristic of a quality Rioja rosado.

In the glass.
Mild winter and a cool, wet spring that delayed development. Summer was moderate with intermittent rains, and harvest was prolonged. Wines are balanced, fresh, and aromatic, with fine tannins and medium body, showing classical elegance.
