2020 Roja Malbec Rose Wine

The 2020 wines are of very high quality as the fruit was healthy and high in polyphenolic concentration, as well as acidity. The growing season started with a dry winter, followed by a dry spring. The summer was hot and we had a few intense rainstorms during February. March was the warmest and driest March we have had in 50 years, which accelerated the harvest and helped us finish harvest 10-15 days sooner than the last years. Across all varieties we had quite uniform maturity, which led to a outstanding quality in almost varietals, but especially with Malbec and Cabernets. We had low yields in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay due to late frosts and Zonda winds in spring. We expect that this year’s wines will be a little fresher than the last couple years due to the fact we have obtained most wines with lower pH and nice natural acidity improving wine’s aging potential. Pablo Martorell and the winery team are very happy with the quality of the wines obtained in this challenging vintage.

This Rosé we make has a light bright salmon- pinkish colour in order to achieve a Provance style. Attractive, elegant and alive. There is a noticeable fruit intensity of strawberries on the other hand almonds and soft herbs fill the nose. Fresh entrance on the palate, medium body with notes of red fruits. Perfect to enjoy its freshness on warm days.
