Montecillo Rosé Wine

A wine of great aromatic expression, an attractive silky texture and an elegant personality. It is surprisingly light, with fine acidity. Bringing together the red and white versions of Rioja’s most iconic variety, the grapes are macerated separately at a low temperature to highlight their delicate primary aromas. The fruit of more than 150 years of experience and know-how. The perfect wine to serve as an aperitif, at a barbecue or over a dinner with friends.

Elaboration

1

Tempranillo: Cold macerated for six hours before bleeding off, to obtain a very pretty shade of pink.

2

Tempranillo Blanco: The Tempranillo Blanco grapes are macerated separately and after a day at 8ºC, they are transferred to a small capacity press to obtain the first run must at low pressure. The blended musts then start the process of fermentation at a low temperature (below 15ºC) to maximize the primary aromas, in small capacity egg-shaped tanks and stainless steel truncated cone-shaped tanks.

3

The must is micro-oxygenated in the egg-shaped tanks and the lees are stirred using convection movements. In the truncated-cone tanks, the internal propellers help to homogenize the blend without losing aromas, thanks to their inverted shape.

4

As the resulting wine has just the right amount of balanced acidity, it does not need to go undergo malolactic conversion, so the natural freshness of the wine is maintained. In the truncated-cone tanks, very exacting work with the fine lees takes place over two months, which gives the wine its characteristic personality and unctuous texture.

Color

Bright, vivid and luminous pale pink, with lilac highlights

Smells

Very direct and surprising on the nose, with notes of red fruit intertwined with white flowers and hints of apricot in the background.

Taste

Richly textured upon entry with great depth, a clear reflection of the work carried out with the lees. Fresh fruit throughout, with exquisite acidity that melts elegantly.
