Rosé Wine

Variety: 100% Hondarrabi Beltza

Production
10 - 40 years old vines. The vineyards are located at about 90 meters above sea level. Clay based soil.

All work in the vineyards is done by hand including harvest. The vines are planted on the sunny sides of the hills to keep them dry and free of rot and fungal diseases. Skin maceration for 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place in stainless steel with indigenous yeast.

No aging of the wine. It is bottled while still young to capture some of the natural CO2 left in the wine giving it a slight effervescence.

Tasting
Fine nose and with a light salty fragrance, with a mineral sensation. Sparkly, fresh and exciting.

Salmon pink color, with a red fruits hue, smoke and spices. Textured palate and enhanced with ripe cherry.
With notes of wild fruits and spices and also the typical citric note of Hondarrabi grape.

Food Pairing
Pairs well with cheese, rice, chicken, white meat and fish.
