Prado de las Alamas Rosado 2022

Case of 6 bottles

Tempranillo (and some Grenache) from the Villahuercos estate vineyards, at the beginnings of the Sierra de Cantabria at an elevation of about 600m. Trellising is modern, double-cordon.

Grapes were immediately pressed, with only the first third of the pressing kept to achieve the pale colour. Alcoholic fermentation in two 500 litre French oak barrels, at 11 celsius for about 20 days, then ageing for about 6 months, in barrel, on the lees. 12.5% alc./vol.. Only about 1000 bottles produced.

Tasting note: Pale pink colour. Complex, aromas and flavours of raspberry and wild strawberry, with spicy oak and floral notes. Fresh/balanced acidity, and a long classy finish.

Menu matches: An excellent aperitif wine, or pair with seafood, oysters, Sushi, creamy pasta, rice dishes with seafood, and spicy vegetarian options.
