This wine reflects the flavor and spirit of Arrocal. It is named after Rosa, the owner’s wife. Its taste is crisp and fruity. Grapes for this wine were hand-harvested into 16 kg boxes and were carried to the winery in 3,000 kg trailers. Skins soaked in the must for 24 hours at low temperature. Once the wine acquired the desired color and aroma, it was bled off for the start of the alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks.

Tech Sheet

89pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2018 vintage

“Lurid orange-pink. Bright, sharply focused strawberry, cherry and floral scents, complicated by zesty orange pith and white pepper nuances. Shows good heft as well as a surprisingly light touch, offering bitter berry skin, blood orange and ginger flavors that are given spine by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes with resonating citrus and red fruit qualities and a late jolt of chalky minerality that adds closing bite. ”

89pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 2018 vintage

“Vivid orange-pink. Assertive raspberry, cherry and candied rose scents reveal a hint of smokiness. Shows good depth to the juicy red fruit flavors, which turn deeper and spicier with aeration. The floral note repeats on a nicely persistent finish that shows good clarity and tangy cut. Made via direct pressing and in all stainless steel.”
