Viña Real Rosado 2023

CVNE (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Viña Real Rosado 2023 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): The vineyard The Viura, Garnacha and Tempranillo grapes used for this wine come from vineyards that are between 8 and 15 years old, located in Rioja Alavesa, mainly in Elciego and Laguardia. Some are bush trained and some are trellised, with cool soils of clay, and with different orientations. Harvest is carried out at the optimal moment of grape ripeness, with the aim of obtaining a wine of great fruity expression, balanced acidity and moderate alcohol. Winemaking These grapes were transferred into stainless steel vats and, following several hours of skin contact, the vats were drained by gravity. This was then fermented at controlled temperature, around 16ºC, for 20-25 days. In this way the primary aromas of the grapes were retained. Once the alcoholic fermentation has finished the wine is clarified, filtered and can be bottled. Vintage / Harvest description 2023 was a complicated year from a climatic point of view. After a very dry end spring, rainfall in June alleviated the water stress on the vines. The summer went by with temperatures in line with the season until 20 August, when an intense and prolonged heatwave arrived, which destabilized and paralyzed the development of the vines, the vegetation and the ripening of the grapes. Subsequently, the vineyards recovered little by little. What was the harvest strategy? We carried out a very selective harvest, picking the grapes in some plots, waiting in other cases and thanks to the work done by the whole team during the harvests we found the point of ripeness in the vineyard, where we looked for fruit, good acidity and balance for the production of the rosé.
