V.T. Castilla y León - 100% Garnacha Tintorera, is a free-run rosé wine (free-run wine means that the must, after gentle pressing, drips slowly without prolonged maceration with the skins), sourced primarily from very old vineyards, such as El Cuchillejo in Olmos de Peñafiel (Valladolid), planted in 1953 at an altitude of approximately 850 meters on calcareous-clay soils. Grapes from other nearby old plots in the provinces of Burgos and Segovia are also incorporated.
The production of this rosé is based on principles of minimal intervention and respect for the raw material: the grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed without maceration, and the must ferments with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks and, in some cases, French oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine is left to clarify naturally outdoors during the winter, thus avoiding the need for filtration or additives, and is bottled naturally. In some cases, malolactic fermentation is omitted, which maintains the freshness and vibrancy typical of the style.
Amanda 2023 displays a clean and bright raspberry pink color, with elegant and delicate aromas that combine fresh red fruit (such as strawberry and raspberry) with citrus notes and a subtly mineral background. On the palate, it is fresh, with good acidity, ample, and with a vibrant, fruity character, making it a refreshing and well-balanced rosé, ideal for drinking young, pairing perfectly with appetizers, salads, light rice dishes, and summer meals.
