Tasting Notes
An excellent example of the classic rosé from Rioja (Aka Clarete) showing an intense, fruity and refreshing character. The Tempranillo adds structure and cherry notes, while the Viura provides a complex and refreshing touch backed with the attractive aromas of red fruit (raspberries) and spices provided by the garnacha. This is the perfect picnic wine is very versatile and great match with pasta and rice dishes, barbecues, tapas and exotic food (Mexican, Indian, etc.).
