2016 Vivanco Tempranillo Garnacha Rose Wine Rioja



*Sample Received*

You hear of beautiful wines coming from Spain, proud winemakers who learned from the ground up what it was to make wine. They will tell you the wines are born in the vineyard and today's sample is no exception. Grapes are hand picked and carefully transported to the winery in small batches to ensure the grapes and clusters remain whole.

The rose is a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha from the family's estate owned vineyards. The nose shows loads of red berry clusters cherry, strawberry and raspberry with fresh clipped rose pedals rounding out the aromas. The mouth is all about the red fruit with mouth watering strawberry, juicy raspberry and cherry. Nice clean finish with an ample amount of acidity. Very nice Rose.

Cheers
Dan
