Rosado
Luis Alegre Rosado is a fresh, straightforward expression of Rioja Alavesa, built around fruit, balance and easy drinkability.
The blend brings together Garnacha, Tempranillo, Viura and Malvasía from vineyards planted between roughly 350 and 600 metres. The region’s limestone, clay and sandstone soils, together with the elevation, help preserve freshness and keep the style clean and lively.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at low temperature to protect the wine’s aromatic character. Expect red berries, citrus and light floral notes, with a soft, fresh palate and a clean finish. It is an uncomplicated, versatile Rioja rosé that works well as an aperitif and alongside rice dishes, light Mediterranean food, white meats and mildly spiced cuisine.
