This 100% Garnacha rosado comes from old vines grown on some of Rioja's highest vineyards at 790m above sea level. It’s salmon pink in colour and shimmers in the glass. Grippy, fresh and full, there’s watermelon and pomegranate on the nose and a red cherry tang on the mid-palate which delights with a nice balance between fruit and acid. Richer than Provence pinks and more interesting for it.
