Wine Region

Rioja, located in the north of Spain, is the country’s most renowned and oldest Denomination of Origin Calificada (DOCa). While primarily known for its red wines, the region has seen a surge in high-quality rosés, especially those crafted from Garnacha and Tempranillo.

The region benefits from a unique intersection of Atlantic and Mediterranean climates, promoting slow ripening, aromatic complexity, and balanced acidity.

The limestone-rich soils of Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta contribute to the freshness and minerality found in wines like this rosé. The result is a vibrant expression of place—light, dry, and full of character.
