Winemaker Notes
Each harvest in September is different and each grape has its own rhythm, where we adapt to obtain the best from nature. Most of the times they harvest early morning to keep the grapes fresh from vine to winery, avoiding loss of aromas and assuring the quality of their wines.
The winery team controls the arrival of the grapes, the fermentation process and the ageing of the wines in barrel and bottle.
Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
Just north of Spain’s famous Rioja region, Navarra excels in the production of full and fruit-dominant reds and good quality, dry rosés. Garnacha holds most of the land under vine, with Tempranillo coming in second place.
