\nGrowing Region:<\/strong> Rioja – Northern Spain
\nOwner \/ Director: <\/strong> Cristina Forner \n\t\t\t\t\"GAVIN-Wine-Review-4-Stars-2022-01\"\n\tIt always brings back fond memories when I think about the Rioja wine region, where the fruit for this Rosado \/ Ros\u00e9 wine is sourced. The selected fruit parcels were hand-picked from the gentle slopes in the Cenicero and Rioja Alavesa areas. These traditional bush vines, which are a mix of 18 – 24 years of age thrive in theses testing conditions, grown at different altitudes in mainly clay and limestone soils.
\nAs the ripe grapes came into the winery in their baskets, the Tempranillo and Garnacha parcels were vinified separately. They were crushed and had only a short period of skin contact of around 8 hours to achieve this bright coral salmon colour. Fermentation took place at a temperature of 16\u00ba-18\u00baC, with the aim of retaining the natural vibrancy, lifted aromas, flavours and refreshing mouth feel.
\nThe wine was then stored at a cool temperature to prevent malolactic fermentation, resulting in an elevated freshness and maintains the wine\u2019s natural vitality. This lively wine rested in stainless steel tanks for a short period of time, being bottled just a few months after harvest. The winemaking team of Fernando, Emilio and Manuel have expressed the lively personality and flavours of these native Rioja red varietals. \n\u2605 <\/strong>An inviting aroma of wild strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, summer flowers and a hint of sage. The wines appealing bouquet of red fruits and fresh herbs carry onto the vibrant palate. This well balanced ros\u00e9 wine perfectly infuses vivid summer flavours of red berries, ripe watermelon, red apple skins, citrus nuances and those local mixed fresh herbs. This confident ros\u00e9 has a rustic charm and flamboyant personality, with a familiar kiss of fruit acidity giving the wine a refreshing light touch and with a classic dry finish. \n This 2021 Marqu\u00e9s de C\u00e1ceres ‘Rioja’ Rosado has 13.5% Alc.\/vol. Made in a traditional dry style. Chill gently and serve in a light aromatic wine glass at 8\u00b0- 9\u00b0C. *NZ$28.99 – *(screwcap)\n An appealing, classic Spanish ros\u00e9 wine, with a flamboyant personality.<\/em>\n
