SantalbaLa Rioja Abando Rose Barrica 2016
Pairs well with Lamb
About this product
Pairs well with LambA great opportunity to try a Rose made from 100% hand-picked Tempranillo grapes from the heart of the Rioja Alta.
The wine is fermented and aged for 5 months in French Oak Barrels, giving an exciting complexity and a nice body with unusual aromas that include red fruits like strawberry, raspberry, cherry and smoky notes as well as spices typical from French oak.
In mouth it has a rich texture, it's rounded, with excellent acidity, structure and flavour leaving a long finish. All these qualities will improve with a period of bottle-ageing, so if you like saving your bottle for later, this is also your kind of wine.

Semi-dry wines are perceptibly sweet but leaning towards dry.
