Aroa Larrosa Garnacha Tinta Rosado Organico 2017
Navarra and Basque Country, SpainAroa is one the Vintae projects, an innovative terroir-based group which involves seven wineries in six different DOs. Deeper cherry pink in hue, as oft seen with Spanish rosados, this is a gutsy, lusty, potent red, reflective of the wine's rustic landscape. This organic pink is entirely garnacha, on calcareous clay soils near the northern border of DO Navarra, fermented wild. The cherry carries onto the palate, with crunchy red apple, red currants, pink florlas and light cinnamon spicing, slicked with a layer of glycerol and bump of sugar. Chill well; this can stand up to ribs or roasted pork well into fall.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.29 | 750ml | private wine shops |
