GRAPE VARIETY: Garnacha 75% and Viura 25%.

CLASSIFICATION: Young Wine.

AGE OF THE VINEYARD: Over 20 years of age.

ELABORATION: A delicate process begins with carefully selected grapes harvested in the cool morning hours. Following tradition, the must is obtained through gentle pressing and brief skin contact - just enough to achieve its characteristic onion-skin color. Cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the wine's fresh fruit character and aromatic intensity. This meticulous temperature control ensures the development of subtle floral notes while maintaining the wine's crisp, refreshing nature.

TASTING NOTES

VISUAL PHASE: An elegant onion-skin hue captivates in the glass, displaying crystalline clarity and an attractive brightness that catches the light beautifully. The wine's refined color speaks to its careful crafting and promises the freshness within.

OLFACTORY PHASE: A sophisticated aromatic bouquet unfolds gracefully, revealing layers of complexity. Fresh peach aromas lead the way, harmoniously blending with delicate stone fruit notes, while gentle hints of wild strawberry add a charming red fruit character. This intricate composition creates an inviting and refined nose that draws you into the glass.

TASTE PHASE: The wine greets the palate with elegant smoothness, displaying immediate freshness that awakens the senses. Its well-calibrated acidity provides a lively backbone while maintaining perfect balance. The journey concludes with a pleasantly warm finish that lingers just long enough to invite another sip. This harmonious combination of freshness and warmth creates a truly satisfying drinking experience.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: Cool, between 7°C and 9°C.

GASTRONOMY: This versatile rosé shines as an ideal companion to lighter cuisine. Pair it with delicately prepared fish dishes, from grilled sea bass to seafood pasta. Its fresh character beautifully complements white meats - try it with herb-roasted chicken or turkey scaloppine. The wine's balanced nature makes it perfect alongside fresh pasta dishes, especially those with light cream or tomato-based sauces. Served chilled, it's also an excellent choice for warm weather dining and Mediterranean-style appetizers.

How to Taste and Truly Understand Wine?

Tasting wine is an art that involves all your senses, offering a journey of discovery. Here are four key steps to guide you:

The Visual Experience (Visual Phase) - Color, Clarity, Cleaneness of wine, "Wine Legs"...
The Aroma (Olfactory Phase) - Bring the glass to your nose and take a deep breath...
The Taste (Palate Phase) - Take a sip and let the wine flow across your palate...
The Grape Variety: The Soul of the Wine - Grape varieties are regarded among the most crucial elements in differentiating wines...

At EpicureVin, we believe tasting wine should be as enjoyable as discovering its story. Each bottle we offer invites you to embark on a sensory journey, uncovering hidden gems that make every sip memorable.

The Visual Experience (Visual Phase)

Begin by examining the wine in your glass. Observe its color - is it pale straw, golden, ruby, or deep purple? Notice its clarity - a clear, bright wine often signals quality. Swirl the glass gently, watching its transparency and how it catches the light. Each of these visual cues can hint at the wine’s age, grape variety, or even its origin!

Pay attention to the wine legs - the streaks that form on the inside of the glass after swirling. While they don’t indicate quality, they can reveal the wine’s alcohol and sugar content. Watching how the legs form and flow offers clues about the wine's richness and body, enhancing your appreciation before the first sip.

The Aroma (Olfactory Phase)

Bring the glass to your nose and take a deep breath. Start broad - what families of aromas can you identify?
For white wines: Do you notice citrus, tropical, or orchard fruits?
For red wines: Are the aromas leaning towards red fruits, blue fruits, or darker black fruits?
Avoid overanalyzing at first; let the scents unfold naturally. As you grow familiar, you’ll start recognizing subtler notes like spices, herbs, or even earthy tones that reveal the wine's character.

The Taste (Palate Phase)

Take a sip and let the wine flow across your palate. Notice how it interacts with different parts of your mouth:

Is it vibrant and zesty, or rich and smooth?
Does it feel balanced, with flavors lingering elegantly after you swallow?

A great wine tells its story through texture, structure, and harmony - this is what elevates the experience.

The Grape Variety: The Soul of the Wine

Every wine begins with a grape, and its variety is the key to understanding its personality. In Rioja, Spain, a region renowned for its winemaking tradition, there are five red grape varieties and nine white grape varieties that form the foundation of its exceptional wines.

The red grapes include Tempranillo, the backbone of Rioja reds, known for its balance and elegance; Garnacha Tinta, offering bold fruitiness; Graciano, prized for its intensity and structure; Mazuelo (also known as Carignan), adding vibrant acidity; and Maturana Tinta, a lesser-known variety with a unique earthy character.

For white wines, Rioja showcases Viura (or Macabeo), celebrated for its fresh and floral notes; Malvasía, with its aromatic richness; Garnacha Blanca, offering citrus and herbal nuances; Tempranillo Blanco, a rare mutation of the red Tempranillo; Maturana Blanca, one of the region's oldest varieties; Turruntés, not to be confused with the Argentine grape; Chardonnay, bringing international appeal; Sauvignon Blanc, adding crispness; and Verdejo, contributing vibrant flavors and minerality.

EpicureVin is here to help you the exploration of these grape varieties, where you will be able to unlock the secrets behind Rioja's rich diversity of flavors and textures, discovering wines that capture the soul of this historic region.
