Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard. Certified in the country of origin.
This vintage dated, sparkling rosé is made from equal parts Macabeu and Garnatxa. The Garnatxa is gently macerated with its skins for 9-12 hours, giving the wine a very pale pink hue. The Macabeu for this wine comes from the Massís del Garraf subzone, grown in calcareous gravel soils at 320-420m elevation, whereas the Garnatxa comes from a lower area in Conca de l’Anoia where the soil is more clay-calcareous. Primary fermentation is in stainless steel using natural yeasts, and then aged sur lie for a minimum of 20 months and bottled with zero dosage.
The team behind AT Roca have crafted a stunning, single vintage, traditional method rosat. Standards at this Bodega are rigorous--fruit is hand-harvested, organic, fermented with natural yeasts and the wines are even aged under cork as opposed to crown cap. Short maceration of the Garnacha grapes yields a pale pink. Tart red apples and raspberries, sea shells and fresh baked pastry dominate a perfumed yet focused nose. The bubbles on the palate are notably fine and elegant and in harmony with a firm, acidic backbone. You'll also note a less fruity, more saline/mineral-driven palate on the way to a bone dry finish with a vibrant savory length. I would advise not serving this excellent Rosat too cold (just as you might with Champagne) and offer it some air exposure. You'll experience even more depth, complexity and texture.
Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the...
The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness. Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both...
Dry, delicious Cava is an excellent Champagne alternative. The best examples are aged on the lees (the spent yeast cells used in fermentation) and show complexity to rival that of the best Champagnes.
