Viña Real Rosado 2021

The very pale 2021 Viña Real Rosado looks more like a blanc de noirs than a rosé, and it does have a lot of white fruit here, with 70% Viura and only 30% red grapes, Tempranillo and Garnacha. There's a reductive touch that I like, and it's young and vibrant with a bit of an irreverent profile—and one had doubts about its color. A very nice clarete, indeed! It has contained ripeness, a medium body at 13% alcohol and very good freshness, combining a pH of 3.34 and 5.72 grams of acidity. 75,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022.

Pale copper color with aromas of chopped apple, raspberry, lemon and watermelon. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and crunchy berry and stone fruit. Dry and zesty finish. Blend of viura and tempranillo. Drink now.
