MARQUES DE CACERES, EXCELLENS
Producer: Marques de Caceres
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Colour: Rose
Grape varieties: Garnacha tinta and Tempranillo
Vineyards-yields: A selection of vineyards planted with red Garnacha on the highest slopes of Cenicero offering fineness. The selected Tempranillo grapes are located in the colder regions of Cenicero and Rioja Alavesa
Soil: Mostly clay-limestone soils, shallow and very poor.
Predominant climate: Atlantic, mild climate, with distinctive seasons.
Harvest: Harvested manually plot by plot. Picked in the early hours of the morning preserving the cooler night temperatures. The grapes are immediately transferred to the bodega therefore avoiding oxidation and excess colour.
Vinification: The de-stemmed grapes are gently transferred into the tanks in order to maintain the colour extracted and maximise aromas. A mild maceration is carried out at low temperatures. The red Garnacha and Tempranillo are then pressed separately, intensifying the initial aromas, contributing to the Rosé’s refined and elegant bouquet. The musts obtained, are very pale in colour and are then fermented jointly at a controlled temperature (16º-18ºC) in stainless steel tanks.
Ageing in bottle: The wine was bottled with utmost care at the end of January. No ageing in bottle is required. Once on the market, it should be drinking during the first two years in order to fully appreciate its freshness and vivacity, which are at their best.
Tasting notes: Brilliant delicate pale pink colour. Complex nose offering rose petal and carnation aromas combined with delicious fruit flavours of peaches and pears. A delicious palate expressing fullness and balanced vibrancy that delivers both freshness as well as a lengthy, sweet finish. Exquisite fruity aftertaste. Delicate yet complex, this Rosé is a wine to be enjoyed at any occasion.
Service temperature: Serve at 6º-8ºC
Alcohol degree: 14 %
