2019 Beronia Rosé ($12.99)
Here’s another returning star to Behind the Cork™. This Beronia Rosé is from the Rioja region of Spain. It is produced from 70% Tempranillo and 30% Garnacha.
Both the Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes underwent cold pre-fermentation maceration for several hours to extract as much of the primary aromas as possible.
Next, they underwent static debourbage at 41 degrees F. This is a process in which the must of a wine is allowed to settle before racking off the wine, thus reducing the need later for filtration or fining.
Finally, alcoholic fermentation took place and the wine rested in the bottle for at least two months before being released to market.
The resulting wine is bright pink-orange in color, has bright floral aromas of rose petals. On the palate it’s light and refreshing with flavors of candied cherries and citrus. This is a dry rosé that’s perfect as the days get warmer and outside activities are in full swing.
Enjoy this Beronia Rosé with or without foods. Cheers!
