The must fermented in small oak vats for 15 to 20 days at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius and was kept with lees that were worked for three months before bottling. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.19 and 6.02 grams of acidity, great parameters for freshness, and is still a bit reductive. This was just bottled a few weeks ago, but it should be better in just a couple of months. It has a core of rose petals and chalk, while the palate is where you have to pay attention. They got very good Garnacha in 2025, and the grapes were picked at the right time to get a balance between alcohol, freshness and acidity. It's not a small production, as 305,000 bottles were filled in February 2026.\u003cbr\u003eRating: 90+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is bright and pale pink in color. On the nose it offers medium intensity, with notes of stone fruit, peach skin and subtle floral and citrus nuances. On the palate it is fresh and balanced, with sharp, well-integrated acidity to give it tension and length. The finish is refreshing and lingering, with reminders of stone fruit and delicate underlying citrus fruit. The 2025 vintage was defined by especially challenging weather conditions, with spells of heavy rainfall during the growing cycle, followed by a sharp temperature rise in the final phase of ripening. This context required very precise monitoring of the vineyard and careful decision-making to preserve the balance between acidity, alcoholic strength and expression of the aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal with shellfish and light pasta and rice dishes.
