Panorámico Clarete Rosé DOCa Rioja 2022 75cl
The title "Wine as Landscape" captures the essence of this remarkable project. The Clarete Rosé is an exciting blend of white and red grapes (Viura and Grenache). It has a light pink color and an intense bouquet of white flowers, citrus fruits, and strawberries. On the palate, it is elegant and complex, enlivened by a refreshing acidity. This is an interesting blend of Viura grapes (from 40-year-old vines) and Grenache grapes (from 80-year-old vines). The grapes were hand-harvested from vineyards at various altitudes starting at 750 meters. In the winery, the grapes were pressed and spontaneously fermented in concrete eggs, with approximately 30% of the Grenache grapes being fermented as whole bunches. Fermentation took place for two months at very low temperatures, followed by 10 months of aging on fine lees (dead yeast cells). To enhance the complexity and structure of the wine, a portion of oak-aged wine was added to the blend. Pairs well with: seafood, poultry, pizza, pasta, cheese, and cured meats.
