Rioja Sierra Cantabria 2020 Rose Wine

Elaboration

Sierra Cantabria has been farming the vineyards of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida since 1870 — five generations of a Rioja Alta family whose commitment to quality, tradition and environmental responsibility has earned them national and international recognition across every wine in their range, from the most celebrated barrel-aged whites and reds to this rosé, which is made with the same uncompromising attention that a 150-year legacy demands. Tempranillo for structure and red fruit depth, Garnacha for aromatic generosity and warmth, Viura for freshness and floral lift — all three hand-harvested with a double selection in both vineyard and winery, macerated for four days to extract the precise colour and aromatic intensity that gives this wine its clean, medium-high fruit profile, and fermented at 16°C using native yeasts selected from Sierra Cantabria's own vineyards. Those native yeasts are not a detail — they are the signature of a place, carrying the specific aromatic character of two of Rioja Alta's most prestigious villages into every bottle. A rosé made by people who have never once cut a corner in a century and a half of winemaking.
