Details
Laden with plenty of red fruit appeal, this rosé is made from a blend of Tempranillo, Verdejo and Garnacha (Grenache). We love it! It's ripe and ready, boasting notes of candied strawberry and herbal character with plenty of freshness and a lick of textural grip.
Founded in 1956, Viñedos de Aldeanueva is a passionate and ever-reliable outfit from Rioja, Spain's premier wine-producing region. Their range and multitude of vineyards play host to what they believe to be the greatest diversity of grape varieties in all of La Rioja - that's quite the statement - however, when you take a deeper dive into the company, these are spread between their four estates. Naturally, Tempranillo is the main grape varietal, grown together with Garnacha, plus Mazuelo, Graciano and Viura (the latter a white grape), with plantings of the more recognised Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay taking root, waiting for their first harvest. The team have also been integral in a recent study that works toward reducing the use of pesticides in the vineyards; testing out non-invasive methods of deterring moths and bugs from destroying their fruit, the test was carried out over 300 hectares and was the largest of its kind. These are modern wines, with a traditional accent, backed up by a team with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

Pairing guide
Pale pink, elegant and oh-so refreshing, this stunning rosé wine from Spain’s peerless Rioja region is an absolute delight of a bottle, perfect for pairing with a wide range of tasty treats. It’s going to be excellent with Spanish-style charcuterie like chorizo and morcilla, and will also work very well with rustic salads featuring couscous, quinoa and other grains. Spicy sardines and pasta dishes with tinned fish will work very well, and it’s also great with peri-peri chicken and similarly spiced white meats.

Wine region
Rioja, Spain
Rioja (riˈouhɑ) is one of Spain’s most well-known wine regions, located in the north of Spain. The region has a long history of making wine that dates back to the period of the Roman Empire. The climate is typically Mediterranean with hot summers and cool winters which suits the varieties of Rioja; Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. Graciano almost became extinct due to the effects of phylloxera in the late 1800s however, luckily, the variety is back in full swing. There are three main classifications of wine according to their ageing process- Crianza, Reserve and Gran Reserva.
