2021 mas que vinos los conejos malditos rosado (rosé)

Description

100% Tempranillo Vegan Rosé

Mas Que Vinos began in Rioja in 1998, when the three winemakers: Margarita Madrigal, Alexandra Schmedes and Gonzalo Rodriguez all with different winemaking experiences, first met. The foundation for their own winery dates back to 1851 to Gonzalo’s family winery in Dosbarrios, located in the Mesa de Ocaña, close to Toledo. Here they started our own winery in 1999, basing our winemaking philosophy on the essential role of the indigenous grape varieties: Cencibel, Garnacha, Airén and Malvar.

The 2021 Rosado (rosé) comes from younger organic vineyard parcels of the estate, with an average age of 20 years. The grapes are grown on limestone and clay soils at 750 meters altitude, and are handpicked at the end of September. The grapes are macerated for 8 hours and then the rosé juice is drawn off and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control. Aged sur lie in stainless steel until December.

The Conejos Malditos Rosado simply screams BOWL FULL OF WILD STRAWBERRIES. It is a light to medium bodied Rosado, with plenty of juicy fruit and tangy acidity. Like combining a red and a yellow Skittle and then subtracting 90% of the sugar. A delicious friend for summer fare. Vegan.
