The Garnacha vineyard is quite old and requires a lot of attention, but it's more than worth it. The unique climate in the vineyards contributes to a ripe and fresh harvest. The Garnacha grapes receive plenty of sunshine and are incredibly cool thanks to the constant fresh breeze blowing through the vineyards. This freshness allows the grapes to ripen very evenly and they are harvested early in the morning to prevent damage and oxidation to the bunches. The color of this rosé is salmon-colored because Juan Leza Arenzana only allows the bunch skins to ferment briefly. This technique is unique in Rioja, as we only know very dark-colored rosé wines from Rioja.
The new generation of Rioja rosés has arrived, and it's a celebration. It begins the moment you open the bottle, revealing unique aromas of red fruit, fresh flowers, and a touch of grapefruit. Pouring reveals the beautiful light pink color once again, and it offers even more aromas. We noted ripe red fruit, citrus peel, and a touch of pomegranate, among other notes. The palate is very lively and fresh, with plenty of roundness. Simply a top-notch Rioja rosé.
