Sierra Cantabria Rose description

This wine will be replacing the Muga rose

Sierra Cantabria, Rioja, Spain

·          50% Tempranillo, 30% Garnacha, 20% Viura

·          Viura is a white grape that is widely planted in Rioja. Its also known as macabeo. Viura lends a freshness and minerality to the rose.

·          Garnacha (also known as Grenache) and Tempranillo (also known as Tinto Fino), both red grapes, add body and flavor to the wine.

·          The estate is named after the Sierra Cantabria mountain range.  This mountain range protects the estate from cold northern winds.  The mountain range creates a micro climate that is very conducive to producing great wines.  The climate created is a blend of a Mediterranean climate and a Continental climate: mild winters and gentle summers.

·          Tasting Note:  This is a lively, bright rose.  Aromatic nose of ripe strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate, and white flowers.  It has a refreshing acidity, pleasant, slightly drawn out finish with abundant red fruit notes balanced by a bit of minerality.
