Arzuaga - Rosae Tempranillo | Spanish Rosé Wine

Arzuaga Rosae is a rose wine by Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro produced in the Ribera del Duero. Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro are located in the town of Onesimus Quintanilla in the province of Valladolid. This is a village with a great wine tradition.

Arzuaga Rosae is a varietal Tempranillo from vines over 25 years old planted on a single farm, Finca La Planta. This is a large estate of 1,400 acres with flora in the vineyard such as pines and oaks, together with wild boar and deer.

The soils of Finca La Planta are calcareous clay and bedrock a few feet below the surface. As a result, the vines are underperforming due to poor soil fertility and the hard Castilian climate.

There are large temperature differences between day and night to help a correct ripening of the grapes.
After maturing, the grape harvest is done manually, carrying the grapes in small boxes of 15 kg. Thus ensuring arrival in good conditions at the winery.

The grapes are selected upon arrival at the winery. They are carefully pressed to extract the desired color.
Fermentation takes place at a temperature not exceeding 12ºC. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is decanted and bottled cold, preserving vividness at all times.
