Finca Allende Rioja Rosado is an exceptional dry rose wine that embodies the essence of Spain's Rioja region. This wine is crafted from a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes, sourced from the Acquineta vineyards that are over 30 years old. The grapes are carefully handpicked and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, then aged on their lees for three months. The result is a rich, complex wine with notes of strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and a hint of citrus on the nose. The palate reveals a vibrant acidity and minerality, balanced with a subtle sweetness and a refreshing finish. Finca Allende Rioja Rosado is a perfect pairing for grilled fish, seafood, salads and light pasta dishes, ideal for a summer afternoon.
