Marques de Murrieta Primer Rose 2023
D.O RIOJA D.O. C
Mazuelo
Description
Marqués de Murrieta Primer Rosé is an exclusive winemaking gem from the DOCa Rioja, made entirely with the Mazuelo variety from Pago Lucas, a unique 5-hectare vineyard planted in 1985.
This high-end rosé stands out for its delicate crystalline pink color and its sophisticated complexity. After a meticulous manual harvest, the free-run juice ferments slowly in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature and is aged on its fine lees for 6 months, providing an exceptional creaminess without losing freshness.
A very limited production wine ideal for collectors and lovers of gastronomic luxury.
Tasting note of Marqués de Murrieta Primer Rosé:
Pale, crystalline, and bright pink color.
On the nose, it is expressive and complex, with notes of fresh red fruit (cherry, raspberry), red apple, floral nuances of rose petals, and an elegant mineral background.
On the palate, it shows a soft entry, a creamy and dense mid-palate thanks to the aging on lees, balanced by a vibrant acidity and a long, refined finish.
