    Floral aromatics stay audible against charred vegetables.
  • Chicken escabeche

History

Godelia's rosado comes from Mencía vines over sixty years old on a mix of fine elements, quartzite and slate. The fruit is chilled to 5 degrees, hand sorted, gently destemmed and briefly macerated in tank before the free-run juice is bled off and cool fermented. Production is deliberately small.
