2019 Finca del Marquesado Rosado Rioja

2019 Finca del Marquesado Rosado Rioja is an elegant Spanish Rosé crafted by a 4th and 5th-generation winemaking family passionate about sustainable winegrowing. Light pink with glimmers of violet in the glass, this Rosado opens with a delicate floral bouquet of lavender, pink jasmine, and peace lily joined by fruity hints of raspberry and peach blossom. Tasting notes reveal fresh-picked strawberries, mandarin peel, and white nectarine. The finish is crisp and refreshing. Made from a blend of indigenous red grapes, including Garnarcha (70%) and Mazuelo (30%), this Rosado is from a family-run estate in Spain’s renowned Rioja wine region. Planted on pebbled ground above sea level, the vineyard experiences a unique microclimate that makes it possible to grow grapes of exceptional quality and expression. Bodegas Valdemar has a 130-year history of crafting unique wines in Rioja. The family-run winery is committed to supporting biodiversity by using sustainable agriculture practices, and farming is done with respect for the soil and environment. 2019 Finca del Marquesado Rosado Rioja is the perfect pairing for appetizers, especially marinated mozzarella, hummus, lobster tails, and cheese platters. It will also shine alongside fresh salads, creamy rice dishes, and grilled fish. Best served chilled. Finca del Marquesado Biodiversity Project
