Pinuaga Rose 2021

50% Tempranillo, 50% Grenache. The Tempranillo comes from “El Aguila”, a 3 ha vineyard planted with 70 year old vines of an old clone locally called Cencibel. This special clone produces smaller grapes with very soft and silky skin, and has a much longer ripening period. It is blended with the Grenache, hand-harvested from another 3ha plot.

The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed to obtain maximum extraction. Before fermentation begins, the must remains in contact with the skins for 6 hours, at very low temperatures. The wine is then bled-off (saignée method) to another tank, and fermented without skin contact.
