Availability: In stock
This is the new vintage of Chivite Colección 125 Rosado, made from a blend of Tempranillo and Grenache.
The grapevines are in Finca Legardeta, north of the DO Navarra. The grapes of this Spanish red wine were harvested by hand and, once in the facilities of Bodegas Julián Chivite they were selected twice and destemmed.
Then they were fermented with the skins for 12 hours to gently colour the must. After that, both wine musts were drawn off and transferred into French oak barrels, where Chivite Colección 125 Rosado 2018 was fermented and aged for 9 months on lees.
Finally, this rosé wine from Navarra was bottled and aged for a few months before its release.
Appearance | Visually attractive, Chivite Colección 125 has a beautiful rosy colour with some salmon-coloured tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | Intense aromas, suggestive and very fresh. This rosé wine aged on lees carries loads of exultantly pure red berries, alongside with sloe, aromatic herbs and flowers. The oak ageing of this blend of Tempranillo and Grenache shows in some spicy and toasted hints. |
Palate | The entrance is bold and intense, with a yummy passage. Fruit-driven, with tips of citrus, lively toasted notes and a smokey touch. This rosé of Bodegas Julián Chivite has an excellent acidity with a fruity, gently spicy finish. |
Our personal opinion | An really nice rosé, it has volume, complexity and elegance. Pair Chivite Colección 125 Rosado 2018 with substantial dishes. |
