Winemaker Notes
Pale pink, bright, and lively with intense aromas of red fruits (strawberries), citric notes (pink grapefruit), floral notes (roses), and white pepper. Very fresh, elegant, and sucrosity entrance, and good creaminess in the middle of the mouth. Silky, mild, and persistent finish. Velvety, fine and elegant, very lively and
expressive, nervous, and exciting.
Blend: 100% Tempranillo

COMMENTARY: The 2017 Hacienda de Arínzano Rosé is deep, lasting, and crisp in the finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits ripe red fruit in its aromas and flavors. Pair it with a sushi roll of unagi, red tuna, and avocado. (Tasted: November 15, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
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.
