Le Rosé by Antídoto 2018
Ribera del Duero, Castilla-Leon, SpainLe Rosé by Antídoto originates from a vineyard plot called Carresoto in the village of San Esteban, growing the autochthonous tinto fino and albillo varieties. The grapes come from pre-phylloxera old vines that sit at 950 metres in sand over limestone, reminiscent of the soils of Champagne, Bourgogne, and Loire Valley. The grapes are aged in new 600 litre barrels. The first year of Le Rosé was 2013 and ever since it's been made to compete with the world elite of rosés. Sourdais says 2018 follows the highly refined 2016 vintage, except May frosts reduced the crop further, concentrating the intensity of flavours. This stuff is delicious; my note is 'mineral, mineral, mineral'.Tasted: 09 March 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $88.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
