Excellens Rosé

Atlantic, temperate, with distinct seasons.

Mostly clayey – calcareous, poor and not very fertile.

Selection of vines planted with red Garnacha on the highest slopes of our Rioja Alta village to provide finesse. The selected Tempranillo vines are located in the cooler parts of Cenicero and Rioja Alavesa.

Plot by plot, entirely by hand. Harvest in the early hours of the morning to preserve the cooler night temperatures. Transfer to the winery immediately to avoid oxidation and excess colour.

The destemmed grapes are gently transferred to the vats to preserve colour extraction and enhance aromas. A light cold skin maceration is carried out. The red Garnacha and Tempranillo are then bled separately. This phase enhances the primary aromas of the grapes, which give the Rosé a very fine and elegant nose. The musts obtained, which are very pale in colour, are fermented together at a low temperature (16º-18ºC) in stainless steel tanks.

No barrel ageing.

It does not require additional bottle ageing as it is marketed in its full youth to enjoy the freshness and liveliness of the first two years.
