As the winery and vineyards are situated in the northern point of Rioja Alta, traditionally the weather was not warm enough to make fully ripe red grapes so the dilute red wine was mixed with white to create a pale rose. Nowadays, ‘thanks’ to global warming, the weather is warm enough to sufficiently ripen grapes but they have also kept making this traditional style of rose.

The resulting wine is a delicate pale pink colour with notes of peaches and cherry blossom on the nose. The palate is crisp with summer fruit flavours and a fresh acidity.
