點擊次數：5399

The 2012 Vinea Rosado comes from vines over 50 years old, 70% Tempranillo, 25% Verdejo and 5% other varieties kept sur lie for 30 days. Slightly paler in color that is peers, it has a light strawberry and rose petal nose with hints of candyfloss that makes it very attractive. The palate is light and crisp on the entry. There is a sweet core of red cherry and once again candyfloss that lend this rose commercial appeal, and the finish is crisp, if not long. Fine. Drink now. Cigales is a region of mainly small, rudimentary, functional wineries without the frills, and therefore the 12 million euros invested by Baron de Ley means that their enormous facility stands out on this unpopulated landscape, looking imperiously over the Pisuerga valley. It is an enormous, modern facility with seemingly endless rows of barrels. It was their first venture beyond the confines of Rioja, having identified Cigales as a region that could offer potential value for money. Four million euros was invested in their 185 hectares of vineyards, planted with predominantly Tempranillo and 41 hectares containing vines in excess of 60 years. There is an additional 100 hectares of vines under long-term contract. Despite its size, the fruit is harvested manually and around 10% is de-selected on the sorting table. The wines are fermented in stainless steel and aged in French and American oak – 5,300 barriques in total. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
