Aroma: strawberry, red fruit, rose petal

Palate: good balance, controlled acidity, clean freshness

Strawberry, red fruit and rose on the nose, then a well balanced palate whose controlled acidity keeps it fresh rather than sharp.

What it pairs with

  • Cold rice salad
    Controlled acidity suits a dressed cold rice dish.
  • Serrano ham and melon
    Strawberry and rose sit with cured pork and sweet fruit.
  • Grilled prawns
    A dry rosé of this weight is enough for shellfish without covering it.

History

Gancedo's rosado comes from limestone soils at San Miguel de Arganza at 700 metres, cropped at 6,000 kg per hectare. The juice is bled off cold in a closed pneumatic press to keep the colour pale and the aromatics intact.
