About This Wine

A rose wine, made from a combination of two traditional grape varieties: Garnacha and Carinena.

40 years have passed since we first made this wine with its own unique personality. It was Miguel Torres Carbo who, striving to make a strongly coloured rose with fruity aromas, experimented with the Garnacha Tinta and Carinena grape varietals, achieving a rose that stood out from the rest and has continued to do so down through the years.

This wine is characterised by its freshness and notes of red berries (redcurrant) accompanied by notes of apple and banana.

On the palate it's very balanced and lush, with a long, persistent aftertaste.

Perfect with traditional "tapas" and charcuterie, as well as vegetable dishes and pasta. Serve chilled (10deg C).

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
