Current condition

Too young, recommended to cellar briefly

As a dry Rosé of Grenache with moderate alcohol and high acidity, this wine is designed for early consumption. Unlike deeper reds or more structured rosés, Grenache Rosés do not gain significant complexity with age beyond 3-5 years, so the peak occurs shortly after release.

Food pairing

Ideal with fresh salads, seafood, grilled vegetables, light pasta dishes, and Mediterranean tapas.
