Zarate, Fontecón Rosé, D.O. Rias Baixas, rosé wine, 0.75l

Zarate Fontecón Rosé is made from grapes of three varieties, hand-harvested from a small plot in Ribadumia. The Caíño Tinto and Albariño grapes undergo fermentation and lees ageing in a stainless steel tank, while the Espadeiro grapes go through this process in French oak barrels. Blending these wines creates a unique cuvée of a light pink colour. The nose shows notes of red fruit, such as redcurrant, cherries and blueberries, full of freshness, together with more delicate herbal notes. On the palate the freshness and sweetness of the fruit is confirmed, along with other, more subtle nuances that bring mineral notes. The recommended serving temperature is between 7 °C and 10 °C. It pairs particularly well with starters and main dishes of fish and seafood, as well as rice and pasta.
