This wine is more than a rosé; it is a tribute to the Alcaraz family's tradition and a nod to the modern, light-hearted Provençal style.
Tempranillo and Viura
The Rosé from Antonio Alcaraz combines the best of both worlds:
Tempranillo: The king of Rioja, deep-rooted and full of character. It gives the wine its fruity backbone and a subtle, earthy complexity.
Viura (Macabeo): The local white grape, which provides the sparkling freshness and lively acidity that make this wine so refreshing.
The 2024 harvest was one of perfect balance. The grapes were carefully selected and vinified using the traditional "sangrado" method (draining some of the juice after brief contact with the skins). The result? A salmon-pink color reminiscent of a Mediterranean sunset.
Tasting notes: Fresh, Lively and Elegant
When poured, the Altea Rosado 2024 reveals its charm:
Colour: An elegant, light salmon pink hue, characteristic of the most refined Rosados.
Aroma: A fresh and fruity nose full of cheerful red berries, raspberry and a hint of lemon peel.
Palate: The palate is energetic and youthful. A lively initial note of citrus and red fruit leads to a silky and refreshing finish. The lingering, pleasant acidity makes this wine perfectly drinkable.
Perfect Combinations
This is the rosé for every occasion.
-Serve it well chilled (8-10°C) as an aperitif on a sunny day.
-It is a dream partner for light meals: Mediterranean salads, grilled seafood, paella, or light Asian dishes.
Simply enjoying a good glass on the patio? That's what this wine was made for.
